Growing Communities. A garden that is an integral part of the school ecosystem is productive and easy to manage. Growing Communities have established a number of school gardens throughout South-East Queensland. We utilise a team of environmental educators and permaculturalists to assist in developing a design and management plan which acknowledges a school’s existing strengths and constraints.
Overview of our initial consultation with your school: Growing Communities makes an initial visit to the school to meet with Staff, students, parents and community members, and gauge the strength and interest. Who is initiating and guiding the project? What is the potential scope of the project? We also view the school grounds to discuss initial ideas and potential sites for the project. Visioning Workshop Growing Communities conducts a workshop with teachers, parents, and interested students to develop a common vision.
