Grow Your Own Schools Program

CountryLife is working with local schools to set up vegetable gardens and encourage the children to grow their own. Our horticulturists have visited 28 local schools during February and helped them to set up their own growing space. We donated a grow bed, compost, vegetable seeds and vegetable plants to each of the schools involved and will offer regular support to them over the next few months while they watch their vegetables grow. Schools involved include:
