Building bridges are currently need funding on their Perivale Primary Edible Garden and outdoor learning space. Get pledging and sharing among friends and local business and organisations to raise the funds for the project.
This project will turn an unused space on Perivale Primary school grounds creating an Edible Garden and an outdoor learning space if they get the funding. It will inspire the school community in ways to live a healthier lifestyle whilst also reducing climate change.
This Edible Garden project needs this funding to design and build an Edible Garden with an outdoor learning space. This will give the pupils an area to grow their own fruit and vegetables. The pupils will learn how our food gets from farm to fork. There will be lessons on how to cook quick vegetarian meals using less energy, giving them life skills and how to live healthier. In addition, there will be environmental workshops on ways to increase biodiversity and reduce Climate Change.
The Gardening, Healthy Living and Environmental workshops connect pupils and their families to nature and learn new skills together. Also the space could be for the school community to come together and hold events. Events such as camp nights, BBQ’s and summer fetes.
Why an Edible garden is a great idea at a school
Pupils will have a space to learn and grow fruit, herbs and vegetables. Enabling young people to gain life skills and learn to cook healthy nutritious meals, by substituting meat and sugar. Lessons on how food is grown will be taught and how our eating habits can help reduce climate change. This space is where families are able to learn together and support each other to make better food choices. They will also support the local environment and the ways we can support the local wildlife and environment.
