There is also a great article on the Wilko Life Blog that may be of interest, which can be found here:

The article discusses the major benefits of teaching children horticultural skills and also describes the proposal of such skills
being included in the National Curriculum from September 2014.
In addition, SEEOG also offers free membership to local schools – see

I love how Schools Essex are so focused on keeping Essex green, even though we are seen as an industrial county.
