The school veggie garden has been cleared, prepared and re-planted for autumn-winter.

Special thanks to our kitchen/garden volunteer Sonia Potts for helping clear the garden. Thanks also to the students from 1P, 4/5B and our health and wellbeing student leaders for planting and garden maintenance. A huge thank you to Lisa, the activities coordinator from Bunnings Edwardstown, for a generous donation of seedlings and soil.

“We dug up worms from the soil and held them in our hands while Jenny watched. Afterwards, we collected rubbish and weeded the garden. Finally, we planted some vegetable seeds in the planting box. Gardening with Jenny was a fun experience and we are excited to do it again.” Harrison and Ayla, 1P

We look forward to harvesting peas, snow peas, bok choy, herbs, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, lettuce and carrots later in term 2. 

If you have any seeds or seedlings you’d like to donate to the garden, or would like to donate your time as a volunteer, please contact the front office.
