About the Kitchen Garden Program

This fantastic scheme was commenced with assistance from the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation and to date is the only operating Kitchen Garden in Gippsland.  Having used the initial grant from the Foundation to establish their Kitchen Garden,   the children sow, grow and harvest vegetables and herbs.  Each week this produce is used by the children in their commercial kitchen to prepare meals for themselves and staff.

Recently a small group of children with their supervisor, undertook a cooking demonstration at the Foster Farmers’ Market.  It was wonderful to observe the confidence these children showed as they wandered the crowd offering ‘tasters’ of the dips and breads which they had made.  This is a great development tool for children.

All proceeds of this fundraiser will help Foster Primary School to achieve financial sustainability for this highly successfully module.  Limosa Rise is proud to be able to assist the Foster Primary School Kitchen Garden.

Please download the Kitchen Garden Flyer for more details (Terms and Conditions can be found on the flyer).

The Festival coincides with the Prom Country Farmers Market on Saturday, at which point the Foster Primary School Kitchen Gardens Raffle will be drawn.  First prize is a weekend with us – get a ticket for the Kitchen Gardens Raffle!
