Kitchen Gardens For Schools And The Community

This event has passed Register

Event description

Learn how to design and create kitchen gardens for your school or community. This workshop will provide an insight into kitchen/community gardens; where to start, challenges, rewards, educational benefits and financial sustainability. It would benefit schools and other groups looking to create edible kitchen gardens for multi use.

We have such rich learning environments on our classroom doorstep, but most teachers could use a little help making full use of school gardens. This highly interactive workshop will help teachers, parents, volunteers and garden specialists enable deep learning outside the classroom. Workshop includes tips for getting started, curriculum connections and innovative approaches to maximise learning opportunities during designing, building and maintaining a productive school garden.
