Hello. Following on from my recent piece on growing sunflowers, I had many enquiries from pre schools and groups. So I will enlarge on what we do in this blog. Growing sunflowers has always been great fun for any age. But growing them is also fun and informative in a classroom environment. And with the way our food prices are heading, its a good thing to arm our young people with. Coming from a farming family I was lucky enough to see first hand the effort that goes in to put food on our plate. Most children do not get that experience. My grandchildren were the same. They started to help me in the garden and in short bursts they enjoyed it. I sent away for a Sunflower Growing Kit from an online shop and was very underwhelmed. I though to myself, “I can do better than this”. So I set about putting one together. The children loved it and we now sell it in my online seed shop.
We have now rolled it out to pre-schools, nursery school, infant schools and clubs. It really is an enjoyable experience for the kids. We go that little bit further. So if you know any organisation that you think would benefit from this kit please give them my website address. Or click here.
Thanks Simon.
Sunflower Growing Kit.
