Trees for Cities

We are the only charity working at a national scale to improve lives by creating greener cities.

Your memories of school dinners might involve soggy sandwiches or lumpy custard, but today lots of schools are embracing new ventures that celebrate growing and eating good food.

Discover how Edible Playgrounds transform school grounds into vibrant teaching gardens.

These are two of Croydon’s Food Flagship Schools, supported by the Mayor of London, and they’re leading the way in encouraging the local people to grow and eat healthy food.

Academic research has shown that food-growing in schools has a positive impact on pupils’ diets, attitudes towards healthy eating and levels of physical activity.

We are the only charity working at a national and international scale to improve lives by creating greener cities.
