RHS Campaign for School Gardening celebrates its 1st Birthday

Posted: 17 November 2008

The RHS was launched in September 2007 by Blue Peter gardener, Chris Collins. Since then 6,000 schools, nearly one million pupils, across the UK have signed up to get their hands dirty and fingers green. The campaign teaches children about plants and gardening, while providing resources and lesson plans to help all teachers make the most of their school garden, teach the National Curriculum outdoors and inspire their pupils. The campaign celebrated its first birthday at the end of September with schools across the UK baking cakes.
