A great day @growgardeners, thanks again!
Great to see the @JctScience crew enjoying the outdoor classroom. We had a radish tasting! They were suitably impressed @Waterfordpermie. We need more place based training. Get teachers into schools so they can see how nature engagement programmes are run in situ.
April 22nd was World Earth Day. This article discusses 55 reasons to be hopeful for our future by @PresidentIRL. It is nice to see a positive headline around the future!
