Synopsis

Over the course of a year, Dominic Murphy helped his local school create a beautiful and productive garden that supplied the kitchen with vegetables and the children with flowers to take home. Starting out with a battered polytunnel and two patches of waterlogged clay, Dominic records the setbacks, small triumphs and corners cut as he got the gardening club off the ground. The result is a unique and practical guide to getting everything flowering and ready to harvest before the school holidays. Never has a book been more timely, aiming to inspire young people to get gardening - whether at home or at school, with their parents, teachers or both. Together with suggestions for outdoor-related activities and projects to bring gardening into the classroom, this book gives every incentive for children to get more active at school. And what's more, if they've grown it, they're more likely to eat it...
