School Gardening – RHS

The RHS Campaign for School Gardening inspires and supports schools to provide children with gardening opportunities to enhance their skills and boost their development.  The benefits of gardening for children include:

• Improves physical and mental well-being
• Builds life skills such as confidence, teamwork and communication
• Enhances literacy, numeracy and oracy skills
• Enriches the entire curriculum from science, maths and geography, to art, design and languages
• Encourages a better and healthier lifestyle
• Teaches about the environment and sustainability
• Helps young people engage with their surroundings better and develop a sense of responsibility
