Over the past two years, the Morrisons Let’s Grow programme has helped children across the UK learn about how food is grown and has also encouraged them to eat more fruit and vegetables.
During that time, 22,500 schools have collected more than one million items of gardening equipment, allowing teachers to take learning about food and nutrition out of the classroom and helping pupils to literally get their hands dirty whilst growing fresh produce of their own.
Using wooden containers on a pallet base allows schools with no access to open ground (and therefore no soil) to get gardening. Starting out with weed, pest and disease-free potting compost helps first time gardeners to grow and harvest healthy salads and vegetables anywhere they can find a square metre of space.
