Our eco-enrichment gardening programme ‘Spud Club’ is growing global as our latest project gets its first international partner. We have presented our latest veg growing experiment ideas to Pontiac High school Illinois who run similar eco-enrichment programmes to ours. After hearing our ideas the Pontiac student group said they wanted to join us.  Starting with the humble spud each school will be using the same growing techniques including a ‘Potatower’ and seeing which produce the best yield.

This is the start of a long term project. The establishment of this co-operation provides us with real world and project problem solving experience that will grow to explore other crop types and hopefully other partners.
