British Recycled Plastic & Grow to School Competition

What’s Included in the Giveaway? 🌱

1: A 1m x 1m British Recycled Plastic Raised Garden Bed for Schools:

Creating lasting outdoor learning spaces requires durable, weather-resistant equipment. Our 100% recycled plastic raised garden bed and education products provide maintenance-free, environmentally responsible solutions that never rot or need treating and all come with a 25 year guarantee.

British Recycled Plastic raised garden beds:

  • Are made from chemically inert materials, meaning they won’t degrade, rot, or require harmful preservatives, ensuring no leaching into the soil
  • Are safe for children’s hands and will not split or splinter
  • Require zero maintenance
  • Are weatherproof and insect proof

2: A Growbag Mini Toolkit – Small Space, Big Learning!

If you’re thinking about bringing gardening into your school but not sure where to start, Grow To Schools’ Growbag Mini Toolkit makes it easy. Your pupils can sow, plant, and nurture vegetables in a raised garden bed while engaging in hands-on, curriculum-linked learning. No green fingers required—just a passion for outdoor learning!

What’s Inside the Mini Growbag Toolkit?

  • A carefully selected set of plants and seeds – just enough to get growing in your raised garden bed
