Kingsway team up with Garden Gorilla

Kingsway Primary School (17)
Originally uploaded by Hobson & Porter

H&P’s Business Improvement Manager Andrew McCormick and Liam are currently working together on a number of initiatives aimed at aggregating and disseminating best practice on working with schools. These include Garden Gorilla, an organisation aimed at promoting corporate social responsibility and healthier eating through the installation of allotments in schools. Growing your own vegetables in schools has a number of benefits, and fit perfectly into the school’s curriculum. The children have learned about the environment, healthy eating, and what’s needed to produce great veg, and they’ve had a lot of fun along the way. The school has learned that by engaging with the local community and actively seeking out publicity and sponsors, they can achieve great things. Hobson & Porter is sponsoring Kingsway School through Garden Gorilla, and we all look forward to a bumper crop.
