Each two hour session takes groups through either the basic principles of gardening or an insight into the world of wildlife. Through demonstrations, practical activities and creative games, experienced and enthusiastic workshop facilitators encourage interest in our natural environment and the scientific world.

When working with schools, each session will link to the relevant curriculum, aiming to enforce and complement the work of the classroom teacher. We ask for feedback so that the teachers are able to evaluate at the end of each session and create evidence of the learning outcomes more easily.

Gardening clubs or courses can be organised with the aim of helping students to acquire skills that will be useful in the job market.

Sessions can be morning 9.30 to 11.30 or afternoon 1.00 to 3.00 for up to 15 students at a time. Facilitators are CRB checked and we provide risk assessments.

Teachers are encouraged to participate in the session for maximum benefit and to gain a clear understanding of what the students are learning. We also ask teachers to support the workshop leaders with behaviour management.
