From an awareness point of view ... we wanted to give you a few ideas on how you can help out .. by letting people know of the smaller everyday things they can do ..
A few ideas we have come up with to support this awareness is ...
This spring turn part of your outdoor play area into a mini allotment€
with lots of novel twists of course 
Find the largest Welly you can!
- Drill a few holes through the sole (so that water can drain out!)
- Put a couple of large hand fulls of small pebbles into the bottom.
- Then a hanful of sand
- Then fill to about 1€ below the top of the welly with compost soil.
- Plant 3 or 4 pea seeds into the top.
- Place a small wooden trellis/ bean cane into the soil, so the shoots can wind themselves up and around it.
- Use the produce at snack time - make sure you remind the children that they are eating veg that they grew!!
