About Skool Beanz Children's Allotment

Skool Beanz is a gardening club for children created by Lara Honnor, which started as an after school club at the primary school.
The children learn how to grow beautiful vegetables and flowers and how to garden to help nature. Free from pesticides, this is a no dig garden buzzing with life and colour and packed full of inspiring ideas to engage the children.
Also at the allotments is a whole plot planted with sunflowers and pumpkins over the summer, a community orchard and children’s playground.

Lara contributed to Charles Dowding's No Dig Children's Gardening Book sharing tips she has learnt from Skool Beanz on teaching the joys of gardening to children.
