The Rockinghorse "Little Gardeners" programme helps children to learn how to plant and grow vegetables and flowers in our specially constructed children's garden. We encourage the children to care for the environment through re-cycling, composting, water collection and feeding leftovers to our large wormery composter.
The Nursery children proudly take home the flowers and vegetables which they have carefully planted, tended and watered over many months. The children learn that vegetables do not grow in supermarkets and they learn about a healthy diet through cooking and eating the vegetables which they have grown. The children also learn how good vegetables taste!
