Health & Education
One of the best ways to encourage enthusiasm for gardening is by appealing to a child’s senses and growing plants not only for the eyes, but those that they can taste, smell and touch.
Gardeners know that there is something very special about growing and harvesting your own produce. Getting children involved is a great way to build awareness about the importance of healthy food choices and gives them the opportunity to try different varieties of fruit and vegetables.
The 'Grow Your Own Food' initiative seamlessly integrates with a multitude of curricular areas, aligning perfectly with the Department of Education's new drive to promote horticulture across Gibraltar's schools. Many teachers embraced the competition as a term project, discovering that various aspects of English, Science, Maths, Geography, and Art were organically incorporated into the activities.
The collective sense of accomplishment was substantial, especially when sharing their freshly grown produce with fellow students and staff during school lunch. For more information, click the link below to view our Introduction to Growing Food Guide.
