Lifelong Learning
Our life-long learning programs and workshops utilise co-design and create immersive experiences across for secondary schools, tertiary education providers, community groups and other businesses. 

These programs include general gardening, horticultural practice workshops, facilitated green gatherings, practical food waste ideas, therapeutic horticulture and regenerative environmental practice.

Beyond the soil, our cooking programs focus on low-waste practices, improved nutritional value, accessible cooking methods & recipes and multicultural foods. 

Throughout all lifelong learning programs, we focus on building strong social connections, sustainable green spaces and opportunity for communities to thrive.

We work with a diverse range of individuals and groups often engaging CALD communities, people living with disability, under or unemployed and those with shared values. 
 
As a place-based organisation, we offer our programs in community spaces as well at Correa Kitchen in Prahran and our urban Rooftop Garden in Burwood.
 
Nearly 30 years of understanding within a variety of settings places us well to help create flexible community place-based model for you. We can develop bespoke activities to enhance curriculums and solve organizational ESG challenges via immersive experiences.
