Incredible Edibles
In February 2023, all the children in Room 1 planted a variety of fruits and vegetables.
The children planted lots of seeds including chives, salad leaves, strawberries, potatoes, radishes, lettuce, spinach, turnip, carrots and even some wild flowers.
They really enjoyed getting their hands dirty.
In April, we took some photos of our plants and their progress! The children were delighted to see how much they had grown in just three weeks!
Incredible Edibles is a healthy eating & horticultural growing initiative that aims to:
educate students about growing fruit and vegetables
increase awareness of food origin and quality
highlight the important role that fresh, Irish produce plays in a healthy balanced diet
communicate the health benefits of consuming at least five to seven portions of fruit and vegetables every day, to help prevent obesity.
The Innocent Big Grow is a project designed to encourage pupils to grow their own food in primary school (and at home!)
