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 Hard Days Digging

Last night myself and a big group of friends, family and other helpers all pulled together to finally get around to digging the garden over. With rocks the size of boulders, bits of glass, weeds, and many other foreign bodies, this is a job that cost all of us blood sweat and tears!
I have included some pictures below of all the people that came to help out. Both Duncan and I would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all of you! Especially with our degree show fast approaching we really could not have done it without you!
