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.

Garden Activity Book

Done to the usual high standard
of presentation that DK books
are known for, this spiral bound

to do for the numerous projects

for non-gardening teachers and/or where no outdoor garden space
is available as the emphasis is

great resource of practical

School Gardens

At last a book which lays out
practical strategies to

connection to the natural world.
Abundant and creative ideas fill
this book, written by primary
school teachers and permaculture
practitioners. It offers a
comprehensive plan for
developing school gardens while
guiding the teacher through a
process from the formation of
the idea to linking the learning
to the curriculum. Provided are
sample unit plans with the goal
of taking the entire curriculum
into the outdoors. Use it to
transform a school or to simply
