We invite the schools of the Whanganui area to join us in the ‘School Gardening Partnership’, a yearly commitment to support you and your students to learn about gardening.

We recognise that each school is at a different place in their gardening journey so we want to partner with you to provide the gardening supplies and expertise you need.

The primary goal of the partnership is to offer an introduction to gardening as a life skill for children and young people. Gardening is a great form of recreation with positive benefits for mental health through connecting with the outside environment.

If you join the partnership you will receive:

• Free gardening supplies up to the value of $100 per term
• At least one visit per term from our School Gardening Co-ordinator, Brydie Hamblyn
• Help from Brydie on a custom gardening program to suit your school
• 10% discount on all gardening products at Springvale Garden Centre

All we ask in return is that you share your gardening journey regularly on your social media channels and allow us to do the same.
