Education

 

We believe that the planting, growing and harvesting of British blackcurrants together with their nutritional and health advantages should be of interest to everyone – regardless of age! For this reason we have been working with the National Schools Partnership, to develop a programme for all KS1 pupils, their teachers, and their families. The activities are designed to be incorporated into KS1 lessons and at home activities and can be downloaded from these pages.

 

We hope you enjoy learning about the programme and learn lots of new and important information about British blackcurrants.

Competition now closed.

 

Many thanks to all who entered our competition and sent in a blackcurrant superhero design. We received an outstanding number of entries, all of which were of a very high standard and were extremely creative in helping to bring the superfruit hero to life. The competition has now closed and after much deliberation, the winning design has been selected. We are now proud to introduce to you our very own Purple Power Man! Look out for his guest appearances across the website very soon!
