Budding Gardeners - supporting school gardening projects

Along with thousands of our customers, at Harrod Horticultural we're passionate about the organic growing of fruit and vegetables and believe that this magical experience shouldn't pass by the children of today.

Every child should grow up knowing what good food is, where it comes from and how to grow it themselves. It's a journey they'll never forget and many could walk out of your school as the gardeners of tomorrow.

And we're here to help you start and/or sustain projects, big or small. With EXCLUSIVE school discounts of 10% OFF the entire gardening equipment range from Harrod Horticultural and plenty of teacher resource on this site - what's stopping your school from delivering one of life's important lessons?


		It’s the sowing season. The ground is now warm enough for lettuce, radishes and salad leaves to be sown outdoors. Runner beans and French beans can be started at the end of the month and preparing support frames will help them to climb.

Start courgettes and pumpkins in pots, ready for planting out in a few weeks time. Make sure they are kept warm in a greenhouse or coldframe because they are very tender plants. Watch out for mice - they will eat the seeds if they find them. Cover the pots with netting for protection.

Watch the weather!

Temperatures can deceive. A warm day can mean low temperatures at night but air frosts are still possible. These will damage tender vegetables such as lettuce and early potatoes. If a frost is forecast, cover the crops with fleece overnight. This will keep them warm and safe.
