recieve a free waterups planter for every school who visits us for an excursion!
We’ve had a long standing partnerships with Waterups and are really excited that they have recently extended this partnership to include a free Waterups planter for every school who visits us for an excursion!
We are also partnering with WaterUps new initiative for schools Ready, Fund Grow —a free, reward-based crowdfunding platform designed specifically for schools. It enables you to raise funds for WaterUps garden infrastructure and Pocket City Farms excursions and incursions, with pre-built WaterUps product rewards that return a significant margin of these sales back to your school campaign.
Anyone who has visited the farm will know we are big fans of wicking beds, featured on our concrete paths surrounding the market garden and in our demo garden. If you are growing on concrete, paving, contaminated soils or just looking for a drought proof garden solution for time poor gardeners wicking beds are a game changer! WaterUps systems are lightweight and easy to install, and are made from 100% recycled plastic.
