School Food Gardens

Implementing a school food garden program will revolutionise the way students think about food and the environment. At Cultivating Community we teach children how to grow their own food, reduce food waste and act sustainably. Our School Food Gardens Program will provide your school with a vibrant and productive garden and outdoor classroom where one can tie all learning into the curriculum.

Our program aims to:

Provide students with the practical skills and knowledge required to grow food
Support staff to connect the outdoor learning to the curriculum in the classroom
Strengthen the school community through growing and sharing fresh food

Our passionate and highly skilled Garden Educators:

Are horticulturally trained and engage with students, staff and community volunteers to develop and maintain the outdoor learning space. This flexibly delivered program develops school culture by building relationships and strengthening the community through food gardening.

With over fifteen years’ experience in this area, we have a wealth of experience that can help students learn how the food system works, how food is grown, and the value of preparing and sharing healthy food together. It’s not just the students. We’ve found that a school food garden is a great starting point for getting the whole school community engaged in food and sustainability.
