By the time you plant, other than say, lettuce, school is over for the year. And then, who tends it in the summer? A year round school situation would be a perfect mix for a school garden.

It would be wonderful to see it revived! This was an inspiring story. Our school had a little veggie garden, but I don’t think anyone “stepped up to the plate” this year to keep it going.

Its a real inspiration when this happens – it makes children appreciate food more.

Schools in the UK should do this more, rather than selling off their playing fields for housing!

Would make us all a bit more self reliant, rather than supermarket reliant. Bred from an early age…..Fantastic!
