About Green Legacy Guernsey.

 An Introduction

Mission Statement

Updated October 2011

To work in partnership with each Parish to strengthen Guernsey's plant infrastructure, to promote the correct kind of planting. To also give environmental, social and economic benefits to the Island.

To educate Adults and Children at a basic level about the value of plants. Over the next 10 years as land becomes available we will be inviting the school's gardening clubs to plant trees which will be provided free of charge from ourselves with the money raised from the workshops and donations.

..........................................................

To date, hundreds of adults and children have been taught how to sow seeds and to pot plants. Workshops at the Plant Centre also help children to connect with their natural surroundings through their five senses. It is possible to tailor workshops to cater for all curriculum needs, teachers please contact me with your requirements.

I (Nigel Clarke)  attended a Learning Outside the Classroom  workshop at the Botanical Garden in Birmingham, where I read the following Chinese Proverb.

 If you are thinking 1 year ahead, SOW A SEED

If you are thinking 10 years ahead, PLANT A TREE

If you are thinking 100 years ahead, EDUCATE

 (Chinese poet, Kuan Tzu 500 BC)

 I would like to think that Kuan's words are symbolic of Queux' mission over the past 21 years and they have, thanks to his foresight,  formed Green Legacy's Mission Statement. We are certain that educating this generation, will make a difference in 100 years time.

GREEN LEGACY GUERNSEY

Making A Difference

To make a difference in 1 year, WE SOW SEEDS

To make a difference in 10 years, WE PLANT TREES

To make a difference in 100 years, WE EDUCATE

(Inspired by Kuan Tzu )
