Every #TipTuesday we like to share an easy way you can grow produce in your own home. Over the weeks we will have options for those with large gardens to those with balconies or just a sunny windowsill. Regardless of your situation, it is possible to grow nutritional food! (1/2)

We need your help! Create a video explaining how to grow your favourite veggie at home. Not only is it a fun and creative exercise (great for the kids!), it will also provide valuable knowledge to those who are unable to access fresh produce. Upload here: facebook.com/groups/5063531…

It's been a busy few months at the Shaheed Bhagat Singh School in Delhi. The Food Ladder has gone from strength to strength, with new crops being sown and harvested on a weekly basis. Keep up the good work!

Did you know, even if you have 🐝 in your garden, it's a good idea to pollinate flowers by hand? Watch Horticulture & Training Manager Scott McDonald explain how to do it. Scott pollinated pumpkin flowers but the same trick applies to melons, cucumbers, zucchinis etc. #TipTuesday

.EON Foundation delivered trays of sown seeds to Katherine Food Ladder to get them growing in our seedling greenhouse. Due to the current lockdown, EON can't visit their projects. Instead they are growing seedlings which will be transported to communities to help them grow food.

Using recycled materials, like old tyres, paint tins and jam jars, is not only good for the planet, it also helps you save money! When it comes to gardening, your imagination is your only limitation. #TipTuesday

As well as adding some nice colour to your garden, flowers also act as a deterrent for insect pests. We recommend geraniums, marigolds and nasturtiums. Herbs are also a great alternative, and you can eat them too! #TipTuesday

Native basil is one of our most important crops at the Katherine Food Ladder and is pivotal in making the project a profitable social enterprise. The native basil is harvested and dried on site, and then sold to restaurants and food businesses around the country.
