Bag Garden Starter Kits
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, learning about healthy eating and life in an African country - with plenty of related resources and images to help you. These mini-gardens make the most of good soil, compost and waste water, are easy to weed and can be grown in schools - bringing a global dimension to many subject areas. Use the links below for a fun explanation and to view other African Gardens activities - you can also use the leaflet to order and find out more about Bag Garden Starter Kits (or call us on 01225 874222).

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.
