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.

A Big Thakyou

Emma and I have had a wonderful time with you all. We hope you have too and will remember your time with us; growing from seeds plants to create your own  garden and the amazing art work  you have done over the past three days, see previous post by Emma. We also thank all the staff at College Road Primary  for their much appreciated support, allowing us time in a very busy time of the year to run our workshops. This is not a goodby we will be back, for now we are rushing around like mad things getting our exhibition together
