We have a number of programmes to fit in with your needs and requirements. We recommend these annual programmes to maximise learning and garden maintenance opportunities.

We can also deliver one-off workshops as tasters or full community gardening days. Please ring us for more information about exact details.

All programmes are based on £45/hour rate and a 36 week academic year.

Weekly 

5 hours per week (£8,100 for 36 weeks)

• Setting up an annual gardening plan

• Regular workshops with children to fit in with seasonal topics as well as specific school requirements. Workshops can be with the whole class or smaller groups of pupils depending on the age of children and complexity of the task 

• We also offer 1 to 1 sessions with children with SEND or special requirements (these sessions are child-led and very hands-on using various natural materials available in the garden).  These should be planned as at least 12-weekly programmes (5 hours per week) to maximise the effects of outdoor learning and relaxation

• Garden maintenance - can be arranged as a regular session with science lead or school building manager to maximise the learning and long term sustainability of the project
