Food growing in schools
The Growbag Toolkit – year-round food growing in schools
The Growbag provides an affordable, time scaled, and easy to follow package of resources and support that facilitate food growing, nature connection and curriculum outdoor learning all in one Toolkit.
Outdoor learning
We deliver curriculum lessons outdoors in your school grounds.
We take your class on a memorable journey and open up a different way of learning, bringing history to life, building shelters in the stone age, universes out of mud and experimenting with sound in the playground.

Training for teaching staff
How to teach outside
Our training and online tutorials have been developed to support teachers to feel more confident and inspired for outdoor learning. We cover a wide range of skills and subject matter, and our live training sessions are designed to re-awaken the child in all of us!
Teach it Outside – lesson plans for teachers
Good, easy to find, workable online resources are what
every teacher wants but doesn’t always get.
We have developed a library of curriculum lessons to help you take your class outside. With back up training videos, help and support, Teach it Outside lesson plans provide clear learning objectives, produce work that is resource light, easy to evidence, and ready to go.
