Bag Gardens
Small gardens, ideal for small hands
Bag Gardens are a type of African garden that Send a Cow teaches families how to make in Africa. They are also a great way to get your pupils involved in a growing project, and learning about healthy eating and life in an African country. These mini-gardens make the most of good soil and compost, waste water, are easy to weed and can be grown in schools - bringing a global dimension to Science. There’s also a competition that year 9 and under can enter! Use the links below for a fun explanation and resources - where you can also order a superb Bag Garden Starter Kit.

The theme of the assembly incorporates the importance of healthy eating and drinking milk for children in the UK and links in well with QCA Unit 3A - Teeth and eating.
