Nourish & Flourish

This is our initiative, designed by us, to work with schools and education groups to deliver Permaculture-based education to children and young people.

It's also part of the Wyld Edges curriculum we are currently developing. Our Nourish and Flourish sessions are based on our Introduction To Permaculture courses and the international Children In Permaculture curriculum. We have also been inspired by the Steiner education.

Nourish and Flourish covers stages early years up to age 12, Key stage 2/3. We can design sessions to meet the needs of your group.

Please view the downloadable PDFs for examples of our work.

Myra and Ferdinand are our friendly, loveable, and very cuddly, puppets. They help us to break down the laguage barriers with young children, enabling them to learn through play and imagination.

"Through puppetry children can learn new ways to express themselves while learning new skills, leading the child on a path of self-discovery and expression that help instill confidence and boost self-esteem."

We are in the process of updating our session plan samples to show work under our new name of Wyld Edges. For now please use what you see here as a guide.

We design and implement educational gardens, using the forest gardening technique. This gives a perennial, seasonal garden for children to learn through the year. An annual garden is integrated into the design, to ensure their is a continued flow of learning, connecting children with the soil and growing from seed.

Our designs and sessions meet the EYFS Ofsted requirements for outdoor learning, using permaculture design and evolve into the classroom using social permaculture.
