Got a green project in your community? innocent & GIY expand The Big Grow

Melissa Carton

Great news for those with green fingers.

Since lockdown began in March one thing I’ve been doing more with the kids is spending time in the garden planting. They love it and it’s a great excuse to spend some time outside and grab some sunshine.

One thing we used was a packet of seeds we received from the innocent Big Grow project last year.

Today innocent & GIY announced plans to make 5,000 of their Big Grow home kits available for little & large growers across the nation, in a bid to provide some wholesome and healthy reprise amidst the monotony of lockdown.

The initiative, which rolled out earlier this year in schools, encourages kids to become mini-farmers and market gardeners.

Now it’s back, here to help you herd your children towards horticulture again. What better time to grow your own, than now in this ‘new normal’ when we have more time than ever at home.

The Big Grow home kits contain a pack of seeds, a compost disc, and instructions on how to plant and care for your grow.

You can share your progress on social by using #BigGrowShow and tag @innocentIreland to be in with the chance of winning a prize.

This competition is open to all those who wish to take part and not limited to just those who receive a home kit. Three creative growers that show their grow on social will be rewarded with the coveted prize of a €150 voucher for the GIY online store.

Innocent & GIY want to fill social media feeds with tales of sprouting cress, watering recommendations and soil considerations – as you plant and nurture your grow with love.

So whether you’re looking for some more wholesome home school activity, or a fun project to not only learn lots but produce some homegrown produce – join in.
