DIG IT Projects supporting the Olympic´s 2012

Official Grand Opening of Canning Street Primary Allotments by The ´Lord Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear´

‘Allotments 4 Schools´™

Take The Indoors - Outdoors

New innovative School & Community Projects based around "Allotment Style Gardens", allowing children and adults to interact with the outdoors and to grow their own fresh vegetables and fruit using raised beds.

“The judges were hugely impressed with ´Dig It Projects´ for its clever and innovative solution to the issue of teaching children and young people about the origins of food. Offering schools their very own “growing area” the service also encourages participants to run their patches as mini enterprises, while the company’s online portal allows for easy tracking and sharing of success.”

Judges comments from the "Startups Awards 2010"

Why have these "Growing Areas"?

These "Allotment Style" gardens are based around individual raised beds used for growing FRUIT and VEGETABLES. They encourage the children / community to interact with the outside space, help develop social and confidence skills as well as highlighting the "Healthy Eating Program", also helps raise awareness in the cost and work involved in growing fresh locally grown produce. In turn enables the pupils to develop an understanding of the environment in which we share with the surrounding wildlife and insect life, and the ever changing weather cycle throughout the year, and what effects it has on growing fruit and vegetables. It also tackles other issues such as Obesity claims, healthier lifestyles, and brings families and communities closer together.
