About the Garden to Table Trust
The Garden to Table Trust was established in 2008 as a registered charity, to facilitate a programme for New Zealand primary schools, focusing on food education for children aged between seven and twelve. Schools have the opportunity to participate in practical, hands-on classes that teach children how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal produce.
The Trust’s curriculum-integrated programme educates children about food, horticulture, and their natural environment under the supervision of specialist staff, community volunteers and their teachers. As a result, children learn about the environment and sustainability and enrich their curriculum subjects through hands-on, interactive learning.
The Trust, co-founded by food writer Catherine Bell, was modelled on Australia’s well-documented Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Programme. Seven years on, the Garden to Table programme now supports 147 schools across the country, providing the opportunity for more than 9,500 children to engage in this practical programme weekly.
To help get you and the kids in the gardening spirit we’ve teamed up with the Young Gardener of the Year Awards to give away an awesome gardening pack! The pack includes a tote bag from Garden to Table, gardening gloves for the little ones, Kings spinach seeds, Jiffy pots, 15L of Tui potting mix and a T&G watering can, valued at over $70.
NZDads have 3 packs to give away.
