A free planning tool for community gardening as a practical, hands-on route into climate education. Built for schools and their partners in the UK, Europe and Türkiye, it helps students, teachers, families and local groups plan a garden together, with or without land, and adjusts every growing timeline to the local season and climate.

Choose from 30 garden features, from raised beds, ponds and compost bins to rainwater harvesting, vertical gardens and box hydroponics, each with materials, build steps and how it works. The Grow Guide covers 46 vegetables, 19 fruits and 13 herbs, with spacing, timing and companion plants. Lesson links connect the garden to climate action and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A funding tab maps routes to local partners such as parent groups, businesses, councils, service clubs and community organisations. A Green School Standard self-check includes community gardens and events led by elders, and an inclusion barriers check helps make the garden open to everyone. A shared care rota and a Build & Prove section help the whole team take responsibility and record what the garden achieves.

Every figure traces to named sources, including the UK’s RHS, UNESCO, Jarau and Benkowitz’s EU Sustainability Education in School Garden-Based Learning and Türkiye's Ministry of National Education. The tool is ready to adapt to your own site, community and budget.
