First 5 steps
It's easy - just follow our First 5 Steps to start your Edible Playground!
How to get started
In the garden
It’s chilly now, but there’s plenty to do to make sure things hot up in the spring.
In the classroom
There are lots of food-related projects and experiments you can do as part of your schoolwork.
National curriculum
By engaging in garden tasks and our classroom activities, projects and recipes, you're learning skills and building knowledge that will help with your schoolwork.
Where to get help
There are some great discounts available and we have a form which you can print out and take to your local garden centre encouraging them to help you.
Get your school involved
Persuade YOUR school to join Edible Playgrounds, so you can build and grow your favourite vegetables in your school playground!
Print out a poster to hang up around school, and a petition letter for everyone to sign!
Shout about it!
You'll be so proud of your Edible Playground that you'll want to tell all your friends and family about it - and maybe the newspapers...
