Garden News

It has been a terrific start to the year in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen and Garden. Students have been making delicious dishes using produce from our garden.

In the garden we have been very busy clearing garden beds of weeds and dead plants, collecting seeds from plants that we can use another time, preparing garden beds and planting so many seedlings. We have lettuce, beans, beetroot, silver beet and herb seedlings settling in the lower area of the garden.

In exciting news, we will soon see the arrival of a new flock of chickens to Chookingham Palace! The students have been asking when we will have chickens again so it will be wonderful to see new chickens here. We are looking for families to volunteer to be part of our chicken care roster, keep an eye out for the notice and please advise if you can help out.

A very big thank you to the wonderful volunteers who have worked so hard and assisted students with tasks in kitchen and garden. Please consider coming along to volunteer, students gain so much from working with you. You really don’t need any special skills or knowledge, just come along and get involved. It’s hard to tell who gains more - the students or the volunteers!
