Garden Education Workshops - All Secondary Stages
These workshops take place on the Dumfries House Estate.
Our Garden Education Team are delighted to bring you two Secondary stage worskshop this Winter. Focussing on Horticulture Skills, our Earth Matters workshop looks to open up the earth beneath our feet and asks "what makes up soil and why is it essential to all of our lives?". This workshop will cover the basics of soil composition, biology and nutrient cycles and its importance for food production and beyond! Participants will build enquiry and experimental skills through fieldwork, and apply their learning in our market garden. Alternatively, our Sustainable Sourcing workshop invites students to explore the entire journey our food makes from source to consumer, the food waste associated with that, and the environmental impact. This workshop includes a visit to our rare breeds farm to learn what makes a sustainable animal product.
There is no charge for this workshop.
This full-day workshop can accommodate a maximum of 20 pupils and we work to a minimum number of 15.
Please note that many of our workshops take place outdoors and as such pupils and staff should attend ready for the weather.
