This week some eco councilors and gardeners went to the Westminster college garden to celebrate ten years of Food School Matters. This was a wonderful trip filled with activities to encourage healthy living and tips for food growing.
The children had the chance to plant a food hanging basket, make smoothies powered by bikes and create a healthy snack using chia seeds that are high in omega oils. We also had a giant carrot crunching moment when children from over twenty schools all ate a raw carrot at the same time.
The organisers were very impressed with the produce we had picked in the morning from our school garden, including: nasturtiums, calendula, lettuce, cherries, strawberries, broad beans and basil. We had a wonderful picnic where we shared our fresh salads. Luca even made some amazing lettuce wraps! The tastiest salad was a Moroccan salad with orange.
Luca had an amazing time, such a great experience for them all, thanks for sharing lots of photos!
