grow it! cook it! eat it!

grow it! cook it! eat it! is an interactive market stall encouraging everyone to plant and to cook healthy food.
It's easier and cheaper than you think!

g!c!e! can come to your school for two or more days.

The stall comes with a range of banners, games and resources.
Below are the plans and lessons to help you use the stall in as many ways as possible, perhaps:

  • a series of healthy growing, cooking & eating lessons (teaching plans below)
  • a parent/family cook off - sharing healthy recipe ideas and building links
  • a fruit tuck shop or juice bar
  • a fun start to a gardening club (ideas and instructions below)
  • an eye-catching stall for parents evenings......  

or why not try all of them!
