The RNCI were extremely pleased to have worked with the Aberdeen City Council on the Plant it, Grow it, Taste it (PGT) Project back in 2019. This saw the delivery of 150 Grow Packs to Schools in the Aberdeen City Council area.

This project was designed for pupils working within Curriculum for Excellence First Level, though activities can be adapted for children working in early and second level. The whole project is very straight forward and the teacher guidance is here to walk you through each step. There is no reason to worry and no costs for schools.

Pupils are set the challenge of growing their own salads/vegetables within the classroom or school garden by the end of the summer term. While growing their produce, they will undertake a selection of activities and investigations linked to science and other learning outcomes, the project culminates in a cooking activity. This will hopefully incorporate some of the produce that your pupils have grown. Designed for the city; the grow packs are perfect for the limited space available to most schools.

This project has now CLOSED, however please feel free to follow the resource pack below.
