Best Tip Ever: Go Organic!
Welshpool CiW Primary School’s project outlined the children’s journey from planting potatoes to harvesting them and selling them at a market stall in the local community. Importantly, they grew their potatoes organically and encouraged their customers to do the same.
In recognition of their achievements, Welshpool Church in Wales Primary School has received £500 to be put towards their school funds, empowering them to further their green initiatives and inspire future generations of environmentalists.
YPTE's Director, Peter Littlewood, commended the children's enthusiasm, stating, “It was great to hear that the children had been discussing the importance of organic foods with their customers. They could speak with the benefit of experience, which meant they had a real confidence about them.”
