The Waterford based GIY together with Innocent has announced plans to make 5,000 of their Big Grow home kits available for little and large growers across Ireland, in a bid to provide some wholesome and healthy reprise amidst the monotony of lock down.
The initiative, which rolled out earlier this year in schools, encourages children to become mini-farmers and market gardeners. Now it’s back, here to help you herd your children towards horticulture again.
The Big Grow home kits contain a pack of seeds, a compost disc, and instructions on how to plant and care for your grow.
As part of the Big Grow initiative, GIY and innocent & GIY are asking growers across Ireland to get as creative as possible and share their veg-growing antics.
Speaking about the importance of gardening & growing, Mick Kelly, Founder of GIY said "There has been a huge surge in interest in growing food in recent weeks and we're delighted to work with innocent to make this experience available to even more children & families across Ireland as we bring The Big Grow home.
There is nothing more optimistic than sowing a seed and the fascination that children have with watching a plant grow from into something you can eat makes it the perfect activity to stay positive during these difficult times."
The Big Grow kits will be distributed on a first come first sown basis, for more information visit innocentbiggrow.com
