Schools wildlife garden project

 

GardenAdvice.co.uk are helping uk schools by creating or extending 1000 wildlife gardens over the next two years.
The Wildlife gardens for schools project includes free plants, materials and labour from the gardenadvice.co.uk to establish a new wildlife garden or to upgrade an existing one.
After the garden has been created the school will receive its own mini web site on the young gardeners club section within the GardenAdvice.co.uk web site. On this schools gardening web site the students will be able to publish wildlife reports, photos and drawings about the garden. In addition every school will be given the opportunity to take part in wildlife and climate research projects, produce and broadcast a video reports broadcatsed over the internet with the help and advice from GardenAdvice.co.uk own broadband content production team.
Through the year a number of interactive projects will be available for students to link up with other schools on the scheme to produce a national picture on such subjects as weather, wildlife population and a number of other related subjects.

 

 

GardenAdvice.co.uk started the schools wildlife gardens project In May 2004 after 12 months planning we stared our school wildlife project as an extension of our Young Gardeners club. The aim of the scheme is through the establishment of a number of schools wildlife gardens and the creation of online software to encourage students to educate themselves in three main areas -
The use of the internet for research
Publish information and research on the internet
The communicate and exchange information with other students from all over the world on wildlife and climate.

In October 2006 one further aim of the scheme was added which is to help students understand local and world wide climate change and to live with the effects.
