OVER 1,600 primary schools and 43,000 children nationwide are showcasing resilience and creativity by preparing to plant their own spring gardens and learning about fresh Irish produce, despite the school closures due to Covid-19.

It is being facilitated by Incredible Edibles — a free, healthy eating and growing project organised by Agri Aware, the agri-food educational body.
