Let your students get their hands dirty with our fun and educational workshops and Forest School sessions.

"Thanks again for your help and support this morning. The session was fantastic and the students thoroughly enjoyed the activities."

Celeste Gardner, Teacher, Chorlton High Schoo

Our fun and practical workshops are aimed at primary and secondary school children, encouraging an interest in the natural environment, and teaching practical and horticultural skills.

  • All our educational workshops are designed to meet curriculum targets across a range of subjects including science, geography, art, and maths. They teach students (and teachers!) practical life skills. Gardening is a great way to spend your pupil premium or engage LAC children.
  • We cater for all ages, abilities and learning needs and will design workshops to suit your requirements.
  • We provide facilitators experienced in food growing and Forest School activities to run a wide range of hands-on activities, and all necessary equipment and materials.
  • Do you want to create a natural space for your students to relax, play and discover? A school-based allotment and nature zone is a fantastic way for students to learn more about the environment while providing a unique play and discovery area. We can design and build edible and wildlife gardens for schools
