This week Wholesome Productions visited Crown Street Public School to see their Organic Garden.

The purpose of the garden is to teach children about healthy lifestyle choices, plant cycles and the value of nutrition through hands-on experience in the garden.

The garden was established with the assistance of Slow Foods Sydney and a lot of hard work from students and parents.

Planting started in late 2008 and the garden has just had its first harvest, which included tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, sunflower, basil, parseley and silverbeet.

The quality has been so good that they have been able to sell some produce through Hudsons on Crown Street – all proceeds go toward purchasing more seeds for the garden.

The students are now starting to cook with the produce – check them out in their Wholesome Productions aprons!
