Coronation Gardens for Food and Nature
The NFWI have joined in partnership with The Wildlife Trusts, Incredible Edible, and Garden Organic, to pay tribute to His Majesty, King Charles III’s long-standing commitment to the natural world and the environment. Coronation Gardens for Food and Nature is a programme that hopes to enthuse millions of people and communities across the United Kingdom to live sustainably and help wildlife recover by growing food and creating space for nature in gardens, on balconies, and in shared greenspaces. This will include providing schools with advice and resources to get growing in whatever space they have. The WI is delighted to share a range of projects for schools to use the produce from their Coronation Gardens in a variety of creative ways.

Some schools may choose to plan Coronation Gardens that don’t need any upkeep over the summer holidays. Other schools may want to ask local groups such as their local WI if they have a gardening club that could look after their Coronation Garden during the summer break.
Schools can put in their postcode and find which WI Federation’s area they fall into. Their WI Federation will be able to give them the details of their nearest WI(s).
