Gardens to Bellis
In FoodACT the school garden intervention that will be investigated is the well described and well-developed intervention called Gardens to Bellis. It involves pupils from 4th-5th grade and their teachers. The classes attend 8 school garden sessions distributed across two school years. The sessions start each year in March and ends in November. Pupils are divided into smaller groups, who gets a plot of which they are responsible for preparing, weed and harvest. The purpose is that pupils can cook their own food with the greens, fruits and berries they harvest in the garden and finds in the nature. The pupils and their families will hatch and harvest the school gardens between the session days.
