Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
Cooking And Gardening For Young Children.
These pages are a mixture of our own resources, and those we have found from other people and organisations. Some resources here have been provided by practitioners and parents who have tried and tested them, but you will have to assess for yourself the benefits for your own children and whether it will meet the guidelines you are working with.
Some resources are created by food industries. While they are not allowed to promote intentionally inaccurate information, they will naturally wish to promote their product as the most important part of the diet. However some of the resources they provide are very good when used in context. Wherever I am aware that a resource is industry sponsored I will say so, and you can exercise your common sense in evaluating it.

09/02/2010 09:55:00 Mushroom Crate Gardens In 2008 the Chelsea Award winnning nursery The Cottage Herbery joined in a schools and families project in Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire. The town of Tenbury was celebrating its 150th Annual Show. Schools, children's centres and community groups worked together to create all kinds of wonderful things for the show. Several primary schools in the area took part in a growing project with Kim Hurst from The Cottage Herbery, to create mini gardens in mushroom crates - the holed plastic crates which greengrocers use to stack mushrooms and other veg which need air. The gardens were displayed at the 150th Show in August and produce from the edible plants were sold there.
