Teacher’s TV - Watch Us Grow

Introduction

http://www.teachers.tv/

Watch Us Grow is a series of documentaries supported by the DfES Growing Schools Programme, the Royal Horticultural Society and the Helen Hamlyn Trust. Each programme features a school that has embraced the benefits of the outdoor classroom. From a formal garden through to a brand new vegetable patch, taking in some cooking and media studies en route , each programme explores how best to teach a range of subjects through gardening.
