'YOE!' (Youth Organic Environmental), Birmingham

Young members of 'YOE!' preparing a meal from crops they have grown.

Based at Uplands allotment site in Birmingham, 'YOE!' was awarded £2500 to purchase gardening tools and books. Since the project's launch in March 2003, nine hundred children have taken part in the project.

Project Manager Neville Lilly outlines their aims:

"'YOE!' aims to encourage children into gardening, helping them to relate to the soil, understand how to grow vegetables and eat healthily."
