Kitchen Garden
In 2010 Appletree House was successful in obtaining funding from ACT Health for the Kitchen Garden project, which will expand on children having access to daily nutritional meals. Appletree provides a variety of experiences and materials to develop children’s learning about healthy eating, through growing, harvesting and preparing food. Children have experienced a tour of the markets to gain an understanding of where fresh produce comes from. Ongoing projects of growing seeds into seedlings and what time of year they are planted and harvested are also occurring. Caring and nurturing plants so they can bear fruit, and assist with food preparation for their lunches and afternoon teas is also a focus for children’s learning. We are working towards sustainable practices within our centre and community. The centre has its own composting and worm farm, plus rain water tank to nourish the kitchen garden. We are also purchasing resources for children, such as books and posters to reinforce these concepts on a daily basis in real terms of learning.
