Garden goodies for our growing bodies

The aim of our project is to construct an edible garden that involves the children in planting, nurturing and picking of our produce. Children will deliver goods to the kitchen to use in everyday meals. The children will be involved in planting, watering, picking crops and preparing them in the kitchen with our centre cook. If we have an abundance of produce, we would like to donate to our families. The expected (environmental and educational) outcomes of the project include using yard spaces that are not being used to their full potential. This would attract wildlife and insects for our children to explore and children will have a bigger appreciation for the produce they are eating.
