EDIBLE GARDEN UPDATE!

It’s exciting times in our school Edible Garden and we are so appreciative to all the participants of the BHPS Golf Day. We would also like to say a very big thankyou to the Barwon Heads Golf Club for their support of our school! Money raised from this day has been kindly donated to the work and improvements we are making to our school edible garden. 

We are currently working on organising the installation of our greenhouse which will hopefully be in early Term 4. This will also coincide with some exciting changes to our edible garden, including new veggie boxes and a more user friendly space for our students, teachers, volunteers and parents to learn and work in! Thanks again to the Barwon Heads Golf Club for their support and stay tuned for more information.
