Our services to education include: * Bring your outdoor projects to life * Provide inspiration for new projects * Bespoke learning days: e.g. Dig for Victory Days for WWII projects * Horticultural therapy for SEN children * Lead lessons & projects in line with the curriculum to extend scope of learning provision

Successes to date include: * Whole school Eco-day – (270 children) May 2013 * Partnership with a local secondary school and eco-event support * Energy Assemblies * Energy Spies and the “Golden Light bulb” * Reviewing electricity data with YR5 &6 pupils * Securing grant funding for solar panels to take our Eco-hut off-grid
