Project Description

Glebie Gardeners is a community gardening project based in the grounds of Glebe Primary.  Children, parents/carers and local partners will come together at the after-school gardening club to learn how good grows from seed to plate.  The project will teach children about herbs and vegetables, support them to cook simple dishes such as soups and give them practical life skills.  Any vegetables or herbs grown will be available for families to use to enhance their own meals which will also support them during the cost-of-living crisis.  

We are seeking funding to purchase four large wooden planters, compost and a few sets of gardening tools.  These will provide the essential resources to get children planting, nurturing and harvesting their own produce. 

The project will benefit all children of Glebe by helping them to understand sustainability, heathy eating and where their food comes from.  It will also strengthen relationships across generations, as parents and partners share their knowledge and skills while working alongside the children. 

We believe this idea deserves to be funded because it combines education, health, and community spirit.  By investing in Glebie Gardeners, you will be helping young people develop communication skills, confidence and an appreciation of nature, all whilst creating lasting bonds within the community.
