Who are New Shoots?
NEW SHOOTS is a community group, which was formed in the summer of 2010 by a group of enthusiastic volunteers. We aim to create opportunities to grow vegetables and fruit, herbs, grain and flowers for the community at Bracken Edge Primary School in Chapletown, Leeds7. We work with children aged 3-11 years, and provide weekly growing sessions. We have strong partnerships in place with other local growing groups and enjoy working together.
NEW SHOOTS aims
To integrate gardening into the daily life and culture of Bracken Edge Primary School, Leeds
To involve and inspire children, staff, parents, volunteers and the local community,
To transform the school grounds into a pleasant and thriving gardening environment,
To promote a commitment to sustainability, recycling and growing food throughout the school and all who come into contact with it.
If you can either sow, plant, bake, run sessions, help with plant sales, run craft activities, do funding bids or help with publicity, we would love to hear from you. If you can donate tools, seeds, containers let us know...we like to reuse and recycle as much as possible! Even if you have never grown before but want to help us, please use the contact form to get in touch.
