FREE Food Growing Workshops for Schools

Food Growing Schools: London aims to get every school growing food. FGSL brings together the very best of London’s food growing expertise, information and support, with the ambition to inspire and equip every school in London to grow their own food. We're doing this by running training, organising events and creating campaigns to get schools growing.

Our campaign at the moment is Grow Your Own Picnic which can be downloaded from our website at - http://www.foodgrowingschools.org/events/picnic/

We also send schools our newsletter each half term which details partner events, competitions and funding opportunities that are available to schools.

Once you complete the survey on the Food Growing Schools website you'll receive the newsletter and any future news relevant to your school - http://www.foodgrowingschools.org/survey/
