Schumacher School Garden

Our school garden was started out of a passion for kids to have more of an opportunity for hands on/experiential learning.  Currently the garden is essentially a school community garden, everyone in the Schumacher community (teachers, staff, students and their families) are able to use it as an place to grow their own food, however it has so far solely been planted by the students during school or through the after school Garden Club.  Any extra produce beyond that which is able to be utilized by the families that tend the garden, is offered to the cafeteria.

 Our programmes involve students between the ages of five and eleven years. Our junior students participate in the class teacher-led programme ‘Food for Thought’. Our older students participate in the NZ Garden to Table Trust’s programme where they have a cooking lesson with our kitchen specialist and a gardening lesson with our garden specialist once every fortnight. We have numerous edible gardens in the school, gardens which have food and flowers, an orchard and other fruit trees planted around the school. We also have a student-built greenhouse made of recycled plastic bottles.
