RHS Campaign for School Gardening - Review

The RHS has published its report accessing the impact of gardening in schools. This timely piece of research reminds us why we are campaigning for food growing projects in every school.

The National Foundation for Educational Research surveyed 1300 teachers and studied ten schools. The research has revealed many benefits of school gardening in teaching and the report groups these into three key areas in which children's lives are radically improved, known as the 3 Rs: children became Ready to learn, Resilient and Responsible. Read the full report, including case studies here.
