Agri Aware are offering businesses and organisations from Mayo the chance to grow fruit and veg in the workplace. For a donation from as little as €40 (to cover delivery costs ) you can get your green fingers growing from the comfort of your desk.
Companies will receive a pack in early February which allows them to grow a small crop of potatoes, strawberries, lettuce and two more vegetables. While these crops may not feed an army, the whole concept is to encourage learning, understanding and most importantly the consumption of fruit and vegetables.
Teams will be required to sow and grow their crops until June and at the end they will send a photo of their harvest to Agri Aware and one organisation will be judged the National Workplace Growing Challenge Winner.
“Promoting healthy eating in the workplace is a growing trend and this challenge is the perfect platform to continue this into 2010,” Agri Aware chairman Mairead Lavery said of the challenge.
Businesses or organisations who want to take part in the challenge should log onto www.incredibleedibles.ie or e-mail [email protected]
