RHS Campaign for School Gardening works with schools and groups to help children and young people to experience the power of plants. Through free resources, projects and guidance, our work has shown that the direct benefits of gardening are wide ranging:
-
Improves physical and mental wellbeing
-
Builds life skills such as confidence, resilience, teamwork and communication
-
Enriches the entire curriculum from science, maths and geography – to art, design and languages
-
Teaches about the environment and the importance of biodiversity and sustainability
