Our school tour packages are all about giving students positive, fun and practical growing and cooking experiences that will join the dots on how food is grown and how it gets to our plate. Our experienced workshop facilitators will inspire them to learn more about where their food comes from and hopefully, grow some of their own at home or at school.
Join the team at GROW HQ and discover what a plot to plate food system looks like in a hands-on learning experience.
