Learning where food comes from - The Redditch Standard

Learning where food comes from

Redditch Editorial 13th Nov, 2014 Updated: 18th Oct, 2016   0

CHILDREN at a Redditch school are set to learn all about where food comes from thanks to staff at Tesco.

A team from the store in Oakenshaw helped dig a vegetable garden on the site of Woodfield Academy which will be used to run a lunch-time club for pupils.

As well as being able to plant their own range of items from across the world, the students are set to take a trip to Tesco to learn more about different foods.

Dale Maxwell, senior customer service advisor, said: “We wanted to do something different within the local community so we asked Woodfield if there was anything we could do to help.




“In the school they had a wasted bit of land so we worked hard to transform it into a vegetable garden.”
