More than 25,000 schools across the UK will collect millions of Let’s Grow vouchers, which they will redeem for hundreds of thousands of free items of gardening equipment, including greenhouses, potato planters, seeds, Wellington boots and tools.
Vouchers for equipment will be given out in stores until 30 October, and these can then be passed on to schools who will redeem them for free gardening kits.
Morrisons Let’s Grow schools partnership manager, David Hewitt, said: “Let’s Grow continues to be a huge success and shows that children love to get their hands dirty and grow their own produce. It’s a terrifically fun but effective way to teach them how fresh food is produced.”
Diarmuid Gavin said: “I’m passionate about encouraging children to grow their own fruit and vegetables and hope it will encourage many of them to begin eating more.”
To date, across the UK, more than five million children have had access to a total of £10m worth of gardening equipment thanks to Let’s Grow.
