SCHOOL GARDENS AND COMMUNITY GARDENS
Awareness is slowing growing in Australia of the need to look at
food sustainability at a local level. Permaculturalists have
long advocated a bioregional approach to food production because
of the reduced cost to the environment of reducing transport
distances with lower fossil fuel consumption and reduced waste
of food by a shorter distribution system. The shorter the
distance food travels from farm to plate, the fresher it is, the
higher the nutrient value and the better for the planet.
Ways of increasing both food production and awareness is to
become involved in a community garden or school garden, shop at
a local farmers markets or join a Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA) group.

Seed
to Seed - Food Gardens in Schools
Jude Fanton and Jo Immig 2007
Seed to Seed is an invaluable
resource for any teachers or
parents, particularly of primary
school students, who are
thinking of starting a school
garden. Written by Jude Fanton
co-founder of the Seed Savers
Network and Jo Immig
co-ordinator of National Toxic
Network, Seed to Seed covers
planning, earth preparation,
planting through to maintaining,
harvesting and eating, and of
course seed saving. The premise
is to create a magical
experience for children whilst
providing a living education
about food production. The
authors concentrate on gardens
that are low input and organic,
respect the entire life cycle of
the plant, have sustainable
water use practices and maintain
biodiversity. Lesson and
activity ideas are presented
throughout each chapter. 80pp
