Case Studies in school wildlife gardening
Here is where we give you access to case studies of school wildlife gardens, written by the teachers themselves.
They tell of the inspirations, the hard work, the problems overcome and the responses of the children and staff. Seeing how other schools have approached school gardening can be an inspiration for you.
If you have created a school garden, improved the school grounds, or started a food growing project, please let us know through here, and we will publish your own experiences as a case study.
