At Wild Monkeys we believe that growing vegetables not only teaches children the hard work that it takes to grow them, but they get a sense of achievement knowing they are eating food they have grown themselves. This year we have planted a variety of things such as carrots, radishes, peas, strawberries, herb and tomatoes. Later on in the year, when they are ripe, the children will harvest the produce and use it to cook with. The amazement children show when they can actually see where things like carrots come from and then get to eat it, is worth the wait! We even find children are more likely to try new things when they have grown it themselves. We are an RHS 5 Star Gardening Nursery, having reached Level 5 in their Campaign for School Gardening! |
