Schools training

Many Master Composters do – or would like to help pupils, parents, teachers, and the wider community compost at school and at home and are involved with growing clubs.

So Garden Organic’s Food For Life Partnership team are inviting interested Master Composters and Master Gardeners to our charity’s home at Ryton Gardens, Coventry for an opportunity to consider how best to work with schools.

Typical topics that could be covered are:

1. The basics of working with schools : actively working with teachers and young people – and doing presentations, including assemblies.

2. What crops do and don’t work in school.

3. How to sustain and grow school food gardening.

4. Issues around composting at school.

The training will take place on Saturday 18th June at Ryton and the cost will be £20 plus vat per person, to be paid either by your scheme or by the individuals themselves. Places are limited to 25 though if oversubscribed it is likely that an additional date will be arranged.

Could you please let me know by 15th April if you would be interested.
