Through the support and encouragement of Mrs Caroline Brett (MRC Staff) we have started up a Grade 7 Garden Club. We have some raised garden beds that are in need of attention, plus we have just started a vegetable planting growing program. The students involved are very keen to extend their learning to encompass, native flora and fauna, including learning of the natural benefits, and incorporate that into a Grade 7 garden. The students & I currently meet over one lunch break per week, so they are sacrificing their own time, which is very impressive. I have the occasional spare block where I can prepare for our next gathering.
The focus is to encourage Grade 7 students to be involved in the care of Gardens and grow their interest from there. Due to the expertise and guidance that Landcare Tasmania have at their disposal, I am very keen to engage and involve ourselves in the Landcare Tasmania organisation.
