African Gardens
This is the home of our African Gardens work for children and schools in the UK.
These resources are all about getting children outside, discovering more about the world around them and experiencing the joy of growing plants. Well done to all who took part in the 2008 competition, everyone did a great job, inspite of the rain! The winners worked very hard to make their bag and keyhole gardens that little bit extra special.
Starter Kits
Although the summer is now over, you can still order starter kits for next year, including: Bag Garden Kits with one large sack of 100x60cm; Mini-Bag Kits, with three sacks of 45x30cm; Sponsor a Sunflower Kits, containing two packs of seeds, 10 coir pots and a mini-bag; information on how to make an African Tip-Tap handwasher, and lots more info on how Bag Gardens help children in Africa.
