“Green Up Your Act Education have recently provided us with two remote, online workshops which have been based around growing our own food at home. During the first session, our young people enjoyed crafting plant pots from recycled material and learning how to best plant from seed and how to care for them. During the second workshop we were able to review the progress of our growing and share hints and tips. We also up-cycled milk bottles to use as our own watering cans for our new plants. Philip planned the sessions so that they were informative, engaging and provoked thought and questions for the young people. Each young person left the session wanting to know more, and requesting further content! Thanks so much for working with us and inspiring our young people to become keen home growers.”
