NEW program

Cultivating connections

A program to foster student voice, belonging and sustainability.

Join Grant in the garden! A qualified teacher and horticulturalist he has worked for many years designing and building special, multisensory and inclusive kitchen and bush tucker gardens in primary and secondary schools.

In this new program Grant will encourage student voice in co-creating a multifaith garden. Start new or add to an exiting garden to share, appreciate and connect cultures through gardening and food.

This program commences with a site visit to explore the gardens and the opportunities for the establishment or revitalisation of an exisiting garden. Discussions would include costs of garden design and construction and the number of teaching days that encourage student voice and student participation in the multifaith garden.
