School Gardening Programme FAQs

Helpful information for educators comparing a Gardening Masterclass with a longer-term Gardening CCA.

What is the difference between the Gardening Masterclass and Gardening CCA?

The Gardening Masterclass is a focused series of at least three sessions, typically three hours each. The Gardening CCA is a longer programme of 6–15 sessions, typically two hours each, allowing students to practise and develop their skills progressively.

Can the programme be customised for our students?

Yes. The programme can be shaped around the students’ age group, available number of sessions, existing experience and intended learning objectives.

Can the Gardening CCA explore sustainability beyond gardening?

Yes. The programme is highly customisable and can be developed as a broader Sustainability CCA. Alongside gardening, students can explore areas such as upcycling, water conservation, composting, waste reduction and responsible resource use, depending on the school’s learning objectives and programme duration.

What will students learn during the programme?

Programme content can cover foundational gardening knowledge, plant care, sustainable growing practices and practical application. Longer programmes also provide repeated opportunities to develop teamwork, problem-solving and environmental responsibility.

How many sessions should our school choose?

This depends on your timetable and intended outcomes. Schools seeking a focused introduction can consider the Gardening Masterclass, while schools seeking progressive skill development can consider the 6–15-session Gardening CCA.
