Sowing Seeds is a project initiated by BA Fine Art students Emma Saunders & Duncan Wilson. The project aims to educate school children on sustainable living and healthy eating through forms of experimentation, exploration, enjoyment and play using the social form of gardening.

Having achieved funding from and with support from SIFE, Emma & Duncan are now working alongside the Students Union within the University of Plymouth and the Youth Offending service to create a vegetable garden within College Road Primary School.

Sowing Seeds is also in conversation with Diggin' It! allotment scheme Plymouth, to help inspire the children as to what they can grow. Through this blog Emma & Duncan hope to build an online community where College Road Primary School can converse with other schools with similar intentions including Mylor Bridge Primary School, Cornwall, where Duncan has initiated a similar project.

DIY Superstars!

Hey all,

Today has been a super successful day! As in the picture you can see that Duncan and I have been dismantling MORE pallets for wood, and also made up a planter - perfect for carrots, or in fact its suitable for most veg!

This has taken up the majority of our time today, however since next Thursday we have a promotional event with our funding partner SIFE, we have also been sorting out a bit of blurb and some images to be put on a poster.

Busy day, but totally worth it, i feel truly chuffed with my DIY efforts!
Over and out!
Emma
