Hi Nemo

I'm sure someone from KG will answer this, but are you aware that Seeds of Italy also have a sheme?

You will have to get them sent to someone in the UK and posted on to you, but that can't be too difficult to arrange.

Hi Nemo

I don't know the answer to your question, but can offer this:

Have a look at Garden Organic for Schools. Some useful downloadable material.

Seeds of Italy offer free seeds to schools - p&p only (UK only, as Chantal says)

Hope this helps.

I think Dobies Garden Centres have a scheme and Alan Tichmarsh runs a gardening charity for children.
