Creating a local sustainable community beyond oil dependency.
In May 2010, the Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA) launched the BFA Organic School Gardens Program - a free organic gardening program available to all Australian primary schools and anyone with an interest in organic gardening.
The program is designed for students aged 8 -12 years and provides practical support to schools with detailed lessons and accompanying teacher's notes for setting up and maintaining an organic school garden. Written and illustrated by the author of highly acclaimed and twice-published gardening guide Easy Organic Gardening and Moon Planting, the program provides expert information in an easy-to-use format.
Lessons and resources are suitable for use as individual lessons and for integration into the curriculum as a unit of work. The lessons compliment VELS and the national cross-curriculum priorities of Education for Sustainability, and the ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic and AuSSI Program state and national education initiatives. The Organic School Garden Program aims to support schools with quality online educational material for teaching and learning.
Good luck on your BFA Organic School Gardens journey.
