We are teaching them the sustainable way of doing agriculture, introducing them to Marigold for pest control, which through its roots secrete biochemicals into the soil that naturally suppress destructive root-knot nematodes.

It is also good for ​companion Planting. Their strong scent repels common garden pests like aphids, whiteflies, and beetles

Our Garden‑School Program is rapidly expanding across South Africa, driving the integration of agricultural studies into the national school curriculum. Through this initiative, we aim to ensure that every participating school produces learners who are equipped with practical skills and confidence to grow their own food.

Our Garden-School Program has landed at Emasangweni Primary School!

Through hands-on learning, Backyard Farmers will help children grow their own food, care for the environment and develop lifelong skills—with harvests supporting the school kitchen.

The programme aligns with South Africa’s National Policy on Food and Nutrition Security and the National School Nutrition Programme’s promotion of school food gardens and nutrition education.

Growing food, nurturing young minds!

As part of our contribution to the wellbeing of the Hammanskraal community and the expansion of its green cover, Backyard Farmers, the City of Tshwane, and the Tshwane Youth Climate Action Network (TY-CAN) brought together schools and local organisations to commemorate Arbor Month.

The initiative aimed to raise environmental awareness, promote environmental stewardship, and plant trees on school premises, contributing to greener, healthier, and more sustainable learning environments and communities.

The Backyard Farmers Garden-School Program is now at Mahube Primary School! 🌱

Through hands-on gardening, we teach learners how to grow their own food while helping schools establish and maintain productive, sustainable food gardens. These gardens serve as practical learning spaces, nurture environmental responsibility, and provide fresh produce to support school kitchens.

Every child should have the skills to grow food, and every school should have a thriving, functional food garden.

A school garden is more than a place to grow food—it is a living classroom where learners grow too.

Through our Garden-School Program, learners turn lessons into action as they plant, nurture and harvest their own crops. Along the way, they develop confidence, teamwork, responsibility, healthy food habits and a deeper connection to nature.

Every school deserves a space where young minds and fresh possibilities can take root.

Let’s grow healthier learners and greener schools—together. 🌍💚
