HORTICULTURE – growing an edible garden: to celebrate the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables the RAS workshop will focus on the awareness and importance of fruits and vegetables in human nutrition, health and food security.
The health benefits of a diet full of fruits and vegetables are well known and during the workshop we will show you how to create, maintain and grow an edible garden at home or school and how to use the fresh produce in a variety of recipes and cuisines. We will also discuss the year round planting calendar focussing on seasonal treats. This is a hands on, interactive workshop, so expect to get your hands dirty (in person workshop only).

The second part of the session will showcase the SproutHigh Pod to Plate program which includes a range of activities to support students in producing and cooking their own food.
