A gardening calendar has recently been unveiled at the Royal Welsh Show and will soon be adopted by schools across Monmouthshire.


The School Growing Calendar was launched by Adam Jones and Marianne Elliott, Monmouthshire Food Partnership’s Coordinator.


The calendar is a year-round resource linked to the Curriculum for Wales and tailored to the academic year.


It is intended to help teachers use food-growing as a medium for learning, by providing approachable month-by-month guidance on jobs to do and seeds to sow, links to additional digital resources, and suggestions on how to enrich the curriculum with outdoor learning opportunities.

www.drslot.co.uk This is such a simple but meaningful initiative. Giving teachers a practical calendar that fits the school year makes it much easier to introduce gardening into everyday lessons, while helping children build a stronger connection with nature and healthy food . I also like that it encourages outdoor learning instead of keeping everything in the classroom—those hands-on experiences are often the ones students remember the most.

What a practical and thoughtful resource — a gardening calendar for schools, linked to the curriculum and tailored to the academic year, is exactly what teachers need to make outdoor learning more accessible. The month-by-month guidance on sowing and tasks, plus digital resources and curriculum links, makes it a real teaching tool, not just a poster. Great to see this coming out of the Royal Welsh Show and being adopted across Monmouthshire. Hope it inspires more schools to get their hands dirty! More here: https://moro-spin.org/

A friend sent me this UK schools gardening calendar because we've been trying to set up a small veg patch in the back garden after work. I was looking through the planting dates tonight while relaxing after a long shift. To be honest, I only had a few quid left over from a lucky streak on spindog casino earlier this week where I turned a tiny £10 deposit into £45, so I figured I'd use that bit of extra cash to buy some of the seeds mentioned in the guide. The calendar layout is super handy and straightforward to follow!

Hi folks. I was searching for a new place to play some table games after my regular site updated its software. Google suggested this platform based on my previous searches. I clicked the link and was greeted by a rather thematic design. Wild Robin Casino seems to focus on a specific character theme which adds a bit of fun to the experience. I headed straight to the blackjack tables to see if the dealers were interactive. I lost a few hands in a row, which was a bit frustrating. However, I stuck to my strategy and managed to win a double-down hand later. It recovered my losses and left me with a little extra for the weekend in the UK.

Hello all, I first noticed Spins Castle while scrolling on my phone during a boring train ride home in London. Out of curiosity, I signed up and started with just a small amount . At first, I thought it would vanish in minutes, but I ended up spinning for nearly an hour with a mix of little wins. Eventually, a bonus feature paid out nicely, which was a pleasant surprise. It wasn’t huge, but it was more fun than staring out the window on a rainy UK commute.
