The Mellowes Grow Project

Become involved in this exciting project that has been running at Mellowes for 12 years. Children plant flower seeds/bulbs on their school tour. Mellowes look after them until they are ready. At this stage, we donate them to elderly people in our community and to community projects. This helps children understand the importance of caring for the community we live in and also teaches them to respect the plants that grow around us. It also helps young children connect with the elderly in the community.

Compost Making

While at Mellowes children are shown an easy way to make compost from leaves, grass and other material we find around us. Children are shown how we can turn our food waste into compost and how easy it is to set up your own compost-making area at home. We explain how the compost is used to grow our seed/bulbs and how the principle of reduce, reuse and recycle helps the environment. 

Develop key areas of the curriculum

Science: Identify living plants and animals, flora and fauna environmental awareness and care. 

Geography: Natural environments, our local natural environment. 

SPHE: Myself and the wider world around me.
