Growing Space

"How trilled and impressed Roald would have been by your projects that inspire school children to enjoy gardening. He of course loved his garden, especially growing vegetables"

"The garden is a hidden oasis from the city, brimming with gorgeous flowers, sweet smelling herbs and delicious freshly grown vegetables. Both of my children (2 and 6 years old) find it enchanting, and even enjoyed eating their spinach which they helped to grow. It is a huge benefit for local families to have such a special place in the community."

"Volunteering at the garden is really fun. There’s always such a cheerful atmosphere, and I am learning a lot about gardening. There are new things to do every week, such as planting flowers or weeding the flowerbeds. I particularly enjoy trimming the leaves so that more tomatoes or squashes can grow. It’s really satisfying seeing the garden develop and grow after hard work."

"The garden gives our children an opportunity to discover where our food comes from...and how magical soil can be."

"This garden is a wondrous thing....I would love it if every school had the opportunity to grow and explore their relationship with the earth and with nature while they're at school."
