Breaking down the food cycle

Alexandra Hills Early Education

The aim of our project is to reduce waste through the centre with embedded composting practices and development of edible gardens. The children will be involved in compositing all food waste and turning the compost bin. They will also help design, plant and care for our edible gardens. We aim to attract beneficial insects through the planting program. The expected (environmental and educational) outcomes of the project include children understanding their role in reducing landfill, how to attract beneficial insects and enjoying the process of growing and eating their own vegetables.
