A new initiative is aiming to get every London school growing its own food by the end of 2016.
Launched last week, Food Growing Schools: London is offering schools expertise in gardening and growing food as well as resources and lesson ideas.
It is being run by charity Garden Organic with support from the Mayor of London’s Office and the Big Lottery Fund.
London schools and volunteers will have access to a Food Growing Schools online hub, offering free food growing advice, case studies and learning resources such as lesson plans, curriculum links and activity sheets.
There will also be training opportunities and each term schools will be supported to grow their own food culminating in a termly “Grow Your Own” celebration event. The first campaign under the initiative will be “Grow Your Own Picnic”.
