Capital Growth Schools Competition

Enter your school and become one of London’s 2012 new community food growing spaces

Welcome to the Capital Growth schools competition page! Here you can find all you need to get involved, what you can win and the benefits of growing food in your school.

Are you a primary school who has just started or are thinking of expanding your food growing project?  If your project has been set up since January 2009 or you are thinking of expanding, you can register for our exciting competition – you can even get on board if your growing space is in grow bags and containers!

If you are the teacher, headmaster, parent or community gardener who’s involved with a school’s food growing project, you can register it with Capital Growth, get free support and enter our schools competition for a chance to win some great prizes.
