Club members grow their own fruit and vegetables using organic, sustainable and environmentally-friendly methods. Primary 4 pupils join the club in the spring term and stay for a full calendar year, so they get to sow, grow, harvest, sell, cook and eat their own produce.

The club also likes to share its gardening skills and knowledge – its community project this year involved working with local assisted housing residents to create a wildlife garden in their grounds for them and their visitors to enjoy.
