Duthie Park Outdoor Nursery

The group has recently been given a grant to develop an allotment. They plan to:

• Plant crops for each season and care for these to ensure growth and harvest
• Learn about ways to minimise food waste and what can be done with food waste by introducing the children to composting
• Investigate local, forgeable ingredients to compliment the crops they grow while ensuring sustainability of these
• Use recipe books and internet to source recipes which could be created with their grown crops and foraged ingredients, and use these to create their food planning calendar to be shared with families and local community groups
• Plan and organise seasonal events (Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox, Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox) to showcase their recipes created using harvested and foraged crops.
