Schools to grow food?

This article in Independent on sunday is well worth a read.

Question: How do we join all these initiatives up?

Thanks for the comment below Stephanie. I think you are right - we need to collect them all on one page. Fi Bird has commented that community involvement is also crucial because you need all year round support and schools tend to disappear at key harvest times!

I'm guessing that the Independent's Let Children Grow is a delivery partner for the already established RHS School Gardening Campaign. I agree that there are so many great initiatives about that it would be easy for teachers to get overwhelmed. My theory is promote them all, then teachers can take the best from each; this could be seeds or teaching resources. Look at SFM website for more links to growing projects http://www.schoolfoodmatters.co.uk/links/growing
