The afterschool club at Hammersmith Academy has been busy over the past few weeks. They got some new worms settled in, have been planting up lots of seedlings and most importantly planting wildflower seed bombs all across the school! Lots of new learning opportunities 🌱 #schoolgarden #hammersmith #hcga

Thank you Co-op members who have raised money to help us teach local people of all ages about healthy sustainable food growing. We were delighted to celebrate with our volunteers and local Co-op representatives, who kindly brought us our first mince pies of the season! #CoopCelebration @coopuk
For the last 3 years we’ve delivered weekly gardening sessions at Melcombe Primary School.
Huge thanks to Veolia for funding our ‘Play it Cool’ project where we aim to bring more shade and biodiversity to the playground by reducing the amount of concrete. We will build new raised beds and plant them up with trees and shrubs. More to follow on this soon!

A fun bread making session with #WECH last week. This was the first of our five week Pickles and Preserves course. The group prepared the dough and then wrapped it up warmly to take home to cook. Can`t wait to see the finished results!

We are super excited to have successfully received funding for the school from @veoliauk to buy and install a new greenhouse which means we can increase our propagation output with the children!
