We are looking forward to helping your community transform your small outdoor space into a woodland & edible teaching garden or a mixture of both. All in the benefit of young children, family and local community!
No matter how small your space might be, just know that we can help you optimise it and come up with creative solutions!
We recommend that you tackle all the steps straight away and please make sure you communicate with us regularly as well as filling our all the needed forms... or your application may be rejected even if you succeeded the first steps.
Communities that are fully committed, enthusiastic and ready to invest a bit of time can have their space built within 2 months!
Plus, children can grow all year round! Not just over the spring & summer period! So, your project can also start any time of the year.
We understand that small gardens are unique and no two are exactly the same.
How do we help through the whole process?
We help each group by giving tailored support so that you can meet sustainability goals and curriculum targets.
We help build a strong structure and foundation for gardening and how to maintain your space.
We tailor its management to meet your children and community needs!
We help you prioritise tasks by the seasons, age group, culture, and country - all to meet your personal needs and goals for your outdoor space.
We have gone through this process many times so we want to help you create a functional and practical place without having to do all the search and so you can make this happen quicker and save time and energy!
Your children will get their hands dirty and feel a sense of ownership and pride. Get started today!
How to get involved
Time:
There is a minimum time commitment of 2 to 5h a week (depending on which stage of the project you are in). Please ensure that 1 person leads the project and receives the support of at least 4 other volunteers/staff members to help share the work load and make your project move forward quicker. It is easy to get distracted or have things get in the way! We will help you get clarity and keep on track by keeping you accountable and supporting you during the 8 week programme.
