The Garden to Table programme is teaching children the essential skills they need to be food-resilient. Garden to Table aims to create an enthusiastic culture that encourages children to get their hands dirty in learning how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food.
$20 will help support a child in the Garden to Table programme for a year.
Garden to Table also has wider community benefits when the children bring home what they have learned about growing, harvesting, preparing and cooking good food. Children develop increased self-esteem, pride in their achievements and pride in the environment, and behaviour improves in some children.
Garden to Table want to to empower children to have a love of good, fresh food and teach them the skills they need to grow and prepare it. These skills will have a transformative and lifelong impact on their health and wellbeing.
