SUPERMARKET chain SuperValu and not-for-profit social enterprise GIY have teamed up for the second year to bring the SuperValu Let’s GROW schools programme.

Each participating school will receive a Let’s GROW classroom pack, featuring all the necessary tools for both food growing and food literacy education designed by GIY.

The packs will include cress, peas, salad leaves, beans, and sunflowers.

As well as the seeds, each pack includes 32 compostable pots.

Participating schools will also be in with a chance to win a school garden.
