“Enrichment beyond the classroom”
Pupils make excellent progress, especially in their communication, reading, writing and number work.
Ground Up Events & Support
Bringing support to the Grass Roots
We connect through regular online events and workshops to bring together different groups to collaborate, support and initialize work in their school gardens
Our Events
The great concept of Ground Up is that we all support each other and we hold seasonal get togethers for all those involved in planning their school gardens. Meaning you get real advice from those working first hand in similar settings.
As we head into 2024 stay tuned for future online meetings to bring together school networks as part of Feedback's Green Futures support.
We also conduct school visits & assessments
John Colet School Garden Build
When the school handed over a bland bit of grassland to their teacher to use for growing, the Ground Up team stepped in to support building raised beds and getting them ready for growing in 2024
Oak Green School Winter Ready
With a wonderful courtyard garden full of potential, Oak Green agreed for our team to come in and help restore the beds ready for winter and easy to start growing in spring 2024
Open Days/ Working Parties
Need some support or extra hands?
Then maybe our ground Up team can come along and help and advise your gardeners
Tree Pruning
Pruning isn't something every knows about. So our Ground Up team is sharing good practice among those who have either planted new trees or have existing fruit trees on site to make sure they are healthy, can produce fruit and live for years to come.
