Cress in the curriculum

Cress is often used by schools to illustrate the process of seed germination and plant growth. In fact cress growing is incorporated into the curriculum in secondary schools to educate students in a range of topics.

As a result we often get enquiries from pupils and teachers about the way we grow cress at W.S. Bentley Growers. The Education zone is a dedicated area of our website to assist pupils at varying stages of their education. Selecting a link above closest to your age will divert you to the area of the site that we feel will assist you with your studies the most.

The above logo is dotted through articles in the education zone, clicking the link will take you to pages that explain how we at w.s. bentley's use the science you are learning to grow our produce.
