Growing Schools Conference 2012

On a very sunny 28 March 2012, the RHS Campaign for School Gardening joined forces with Growing Schools to present a combined Conference, Benefits not Barriers at RHS Garden Wisley, Surrey.
 
The day started off with teachers browsing our 20+ marketplace exhibitors, followed by a welcome speech from the RHS Director General, Sue Biggs. The teachers then headed off to one of five of our exciting hands-on workshops.

Here is the day in pictures:
