Pennie Latin joins the pupils at Teanassie Primary School for their summer barbecue.

Pennie Latin joins the pupils at Teanassie Primary School for their summer barbecue, where the children have been learning about where food comes from and raising their own pig.

We arrive at the end of 'The Kitchen Garden' series this week and what a summer it's been; restored walled gardens, tea plantations, foraging, therapy projects, community gardens, medicinal herbs and the discovery of the cucamelon; to name but a few. How better than to end it than with a BBQ? Pennie Latin joins the pupils, parents and teachers at Teanassie Primary in Beauly. Pupils here have been learning a very important lesson; where their food comes from. This year the kids of Teanassie have been growing their own veggies and raising their own Kunekune pig, Lincoln. Pennie catches up with them in their kitchen garden whilst Dan accompanies some pupils to the local butchers then finally everyone tucks into the fruits of their labour at their summer BBQ. Also, Pennie Latin pays a visit to Borestone Primary in Stirling, where the pupils are getting excited over...sprouts? Yes you did hear right, Brussel sprouts.
