Planning and setting up a school garden is suitable for schools that are currently at the Campaign for School Gardening’s Level’s one and two.

The day will include some of the following topics: finding funding to start your garden, gardening on a limited budget, designing your school garden, health and safety in the school garden and gardening for the school year. Some basic horticultural skills will also be covered, for example, what tools to purchase and how to use them correctly, planting and establishing plants, seed sowing and soil testing and preparing soil for sowing and planting.
