Growing in Africa in association with Send a Cow charity.

As John is ambassador for the Send a Cow charity in North Lincolnshire, we can build an African key hole garden in your school and teach how to plant them. We can also show you how to make bag gardens and through this we can teach healthy eating and global issues the fun way and maybe even raise enough money for the charity to send another cow?

Watch their video to see just what a difference this charity make in Africa, and imagine what you can learn from how another culture grow their vegetables, we feel its an opportunity not to be missed.
