The launch of our Primary School Programme!
This Spring we are extremely excited to launch our primary school programme of gardening, harvesting, cooking and sustainability sessions at our new Children’s Education Garden.
We are located in South Wye on the edge of the city, just at the end of the Great Western Way foot/cycle path should you wish to walk or cycle to us.
Sessions are delivered by our Education Officers along with a team of sessional staff and volunteers. All are DBS checked. Workshops are designed to complement the national curriculum.
All our workshops are highly subsidised so we are currently able to offer them to Herefordshire schools and groups at £100 (plus VAT) for a full class size, or £60 (plus VAT) for up to 18 children.
