Kingsley Park Primary School’s veggie garden is getting a fresh new look and it’s an exciting step in their whole‑school approach to learning about and promoting nutritious and delicious food.
Led by Abe Kenny, PE Leader at the school, the garden glow up is being supported by enthusiastic students, Bayside Health Peninsula, and the generous team at Bunnings Frankston. “I am proud of the work I have done in our school garden. My favourite plant in our garden is basil, it’s just delicious!” said Harper, grade 5 student at Kingsley Park Primary.
The refreshed garden features themed beds including a soup garden, a salad garden, and an Indigenous garden bed filled with bush foods such as warrigal greens, lemon myrtle and bush tomatoes. These spaces will help students make meaningful connections between growing food, culture and wellbeing.
More than just a garden, this space is a living classroom, bringing together curriculum learning, wellbeing, and community in one vibrant, growing hub.
