Design a vegetable garden

In this activity learners will make use of the theme of World War 2 to learn about the ‘Dig for Victory' campaign and how it was used during the war. They will then design their own garden, considering the types of fruit and vegetables that could be grown within it.

This activity could be used as a main lesson activity to teach about sustainable ingredients and how these can be grown at home. It could also be used as part of wider scheme of learning focussed on food preparation and nutrition, or as part of a wider theme based project on World War 2.
