It is vital to include and engage our children in the growing process, and so Verwood Growers have joined forces with Hillside First School to teach the children in the school garden exactly where their food comes from, how to restore the quality of the soil by using no dig growing methods and sheet composting, how to utilise organic waste and how rewilding can entice the wildlife population back including vital pollinators.
The children will learn to grow, eat and hopefully enjoy their own fruit and vegetables while at the same time benefit from an active time in the fresh air.
