We have been working on the garden at an inner city secondary school in East London for about two years and renovated the space implementing no dig on all the growing areas. The children have weekly sessions where they learn how to grow their own food from seed, about rewilding, conservation and the waste cycle. The children have a composting area (where we do compost waste food as well as garden waste), a greenhouse, two ponds (which the children built), fruit trees, and a polytunnel. We also have an apiary and are training up a new generation of junior beekepers. We've had two years of great harvests, taught the children about how food and nature can co-exist (and given them a taste of yummy greens they'd never eaten) and had a lot of fun. Charles has been very supportive with his advice and won plenty of young people over to the no dig movement.
