☕ From compost powered by coffee grounds to bread and butter pudding and chicken treats, schools in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation Kitchen Garden Program are finding creative ways to give food a second life — turning scraps and surplus into learning moments.

🐔 These small, hands on actions are helping children value food, build practical life skills and care for the environment.

It's an open secret in the gardening community that time outside can be therapeutic. Being surrounded by plants is refreshing and rejuvenating.

But it goes deeper.

With the right tools, gardening can be used more intentionally to support self-care, wellbeing, meaning and connection.

Next week, our members will be joined by Therapeutic Horticulture Australia Vice-President Tanya Bearup for an exclusive webinar digging into simple ways to deepen the restorative benefits of everyday gardening.

Mick's latest prize is the last of our chilli harvest: these Padron chillies are sometimes known as Italian Roulette for the occasional very hot specimen you'll find from an otherwise mild bush.

Winter is the season of browns and it's worth embracing. It's important to resist the urge to cut it all back. Those seedheads feed the birds. The hollow stems shelter insects. The structure left standing gives the garden its winter skeleton.
A tidy garden isn't always a better one, there's real beauty in a little wildness.

World Environment Day is a reminder that planetary health starts small. In the soil. Under leaves.
Recently, a group of uni students chose Heronswood as the site for their ecological study. They explored biodiversity and the invertebrate life thriving in our garden.
It’s a good reminder that these tiny lives matter. And so do the gardens and organic gardening practices that protect them.
