New CPD Programme for Teachers
A brand new programme of CPD courses for teachers starts this September at the Gardens’ Study Centre. Run a range of themes including Developing School Grounds for Play, Outdoor Provisions for Early Years, Composting and Creating a Wildlife Area to name but four, the courses will support teachers to develop and make better use of their school grounds, gardens and wildlife areas. The courses will use the award-winning Growing Schools Garden as a stimulus that was designed by Chris Beardshaw and is used by 15,000 school pupils who visit the Gardens for curriculum-linked plant-based studies each year.
