Getting kids excited about growing food
Since 2020 The Seed Library Inc has been encouraging and engaging children to grow and eat more vegetables
​
​Our aim is to continue introducing seed libraries into Australian Primary Schools, High Schools, Education Support Centres and Early learning Centres for children to develop a passion and understanding of where food comes from, how to grow their own and to enjoy eating more fresh vegetables
​​​
​Our Seeds in Schools project has delivered 32,545 packets of seed to 238 schools and education centres across Australia providing 69,529 children access to heirloom vegetable, flower and bush tucker seeds that are easily grown across the four seasons
​
This initiative enables schools to utilise these seeds in expanding their kitchen gardens and encouraging horticulture activities across many subjects within the curriculum that align with sustainability, nutrition, waste, recycling and environmental initiatives
​
We are currently working towards the next rollout of 14,025 packets to 78 education centres which will then provide 90,489 children with an opportunity to learn, grow, eat and discover the wonder of growing food
​
From tiny seeds a lifelong growing experience begins​
