We needed to think about funding , too. I know other schools that have taken different routes to support such projects — finding parent and grandparent volunteers or someone with a knowledge of gardening who are ready to share their skills and support teachers. Community is a big thing for us. Products from the garden are sold in the school shop, run by the children on weekdays. We’ve also begun selling products, such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggs and honey to parents and others, and a local restaurant and Borough Market in central London, helping us to channel (引导) funds back into the garden.

The research of the Food Growing in Schools Taskforce makes clear the advantages of school gardens: learning, increased understanding of the natural environment. It has also shown that outdoor learning can add value to everyday experiences in the classroom. I’d agree. The garden has provided wonderful learning chances for the children. It has brought the community together.
