About

The Eco Food Garden aims to provide students at the school with the opportunity to be involved in hands-on learning using permaculture principles.

The Eco Food Garden Team was formed after 17 parents and staff attended a TAFE NSW permaculture course. The team is constantly evolving and we welcome new members.

Benefits to students:

•    Connection to the natural world
•    An understanding of where food comes from
•    An alternative learning environment
•    Sense of ownership

The Eco Food Garden hopes to further the education of students in areas of:

•    Life cycles
•    Ecosystems
•    Organic food production
•    Recycling of waste and materials
•    Water conservation and management
•    Caring for animals
•    Companion planting
•    Microclimates
•    Soil conservation and improvement
