The Eat Well team is excited to present the Growing Gang initiative, designed to help young children develop a love for growing and trying vegetables. By incorporating elements of the Eat Well Policy, this project supports the broader early years sector.
Growing vegetables and sparking curiosity about food production are key steps in building lifelong positive relationships with food. The Growing Gang equips practitioners with everything they need to engage children in hands-on veggie-growing activities. This not only teaches children where their food comes from but also encourages them to try and enjoy those “trickier” veggies.
We partner with local Early Years Settings (preschools and nurseries), providing seeds, compost, and pots to get their gardens growing. A huge thank you to all our past growers and their amazing teams! Also, a massive thank you to Le Friquet Garden Centre who have provided seeds and compost over the years – your help is very much appreciated.
Let’s grow together!
