Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden
The introduction of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program at St Aloysius School is providing a wonderful learning platform for the children to share in pleasurable food experiences and development of their understanding of environmental sustainability through growing their own produce.
The Kitchen Garden Program challenges and inspires the children by providing a ‘real life’ food education experience, they are not just learning about how to produce food, they are experiencing it … and loving it!
In the garden, the children work together in small groups, learning the practical skills of growing fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs whilst delighting in the simple joy of digging the soil, planting seedlings, composting and harvesting glorious fresh produce.
In the Kitchen, inspired by their fresh harvest the children research and create recipes to enjoy the simple pleasure of preparing and sharing in a meal of nutritious seasonal food together.
