Jordan River Learning Federation's Senior School is the first high school we've started working in for the expansion of our program. 

With tireless work from our development manager Reuben Parker-Greer, we spectacularly cut up chunks of asphalt in the heart of the school to create our beautiful kitchen garden—designed by the generous Inspiring Place Studio.

It has now reached stage one, with garden bed infrastructure in, seedlings in, seating in, and a bit more to come!  

Their garden has reached its first stage of development, with garden beds and seedlings in!

In the north west at East Devonport Primary School, Bonnie put on an end of term pizza party with garden pizza featuring green sprinkles from the garden “as it can’t be garden pizza without them”. 

Green sprinkles recipe: spring onions, leeks, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley, silver beet, english spinach, celery, broccoli, kale OR anything you have in the garden!

Glenorchy Primary also have been making pizzas, but of the rainbow variety with their Kitchen Specialist, Dom!  Warrane Primary’s garden has been blooming with produce including: broccoli, celery, rhubarb, parsley, saltbush, nasturtium and as always, lots of edible flowers!

At Clarendon Vale Primary School, Kachina, Anna and their students are enjoying a bumper asparagus harvest this year! Shout out to previous Garden Specialist, Matt, for planting the crowns a few years ago. They are also harvesting carrots, rainbow chard, rhubarb, herbs and calendula. Anna made asparagus cheese puffs with the students and they were a crispy, cheesy hit!

In the north, Camille has been cooking with Ravenwood Heights Primary School, making mixed vegetable fritters with lots of fresh chard from the garden. They have also been enjoying some self seeding coriander.

And at Montrose Bay High School, Tess and her students have been harvesting a big haul out of the school garden: snow peas (mammoth melting), nasturtium leaves and flowers, broad bean leaves, spring onions, cape gooseberries, broccoletti florets, celery, kale and silverbeet! 

Nigel and his students have made some gozleme with the silverbeet from the garden after students learnt the ropes from Chef Vlad at Botanical on their excursion. They’ve been teaching other students how to make it, and the consensus is that this is one of their food highlights of the term! Woo!
