The Toolkit for food growing and outdoor learning in schools
Most schools aren’t getting the most out of their growing space. Teachers tell us that time, knowledge, pupil behaviour and keeping their class on task while outdoors are stopping them going outside more.
Drawing on thirteen years’ experience we have created
The Growbag: an affordable, easy to follow package of resources and support that facilitates food growing, nature connection and an outdoor curriculum all in one Toolkit.
Which Growbag is right for you?
“It is a delight to work with Grow to School. We have set up 7 growing beds that have become an integral part of our outdoor learning and Science curriculum. The support and advice is crucial to our success and our practitioner has exceptional knowledge and is always on hand for advice..”
Elizabeth Ward, Ashfield Valley, Rochdale
The Growbag Early Years
Providing adult led, child centered play-based activities is time consuming and challenging for even your most inspired staff. Trying to fit some growing in too, can seem overwhelming especially when you’re not sure where to start.
Tried and tested in Nursery and Reception settings, The Growbag Early Years Toolkit fits freely around your existing outdoor provision and benefits staff and children, providing a clear purpose for going outside.

“The Growbag supports our mission to provide access to the real world where we can. The children are engaged and are learning new skills and language.”
