New Vege Garden

 

Burnham School has a brand new vegetable garden. Our thanks go to the EnviroGroup, supported by Joe Murray and Chris Thurlow for their efforts in designing this area. We've moved it into a location which is more accessible to the entire school. The process involved the EnviroGroup putting a proposal to the Board which was accepted last year. The decision was made to locate the new vege garden next to the library.

 

The McCAIN School Veggie Patches program helps primary schools across Australia and New Zealand build their own veggie patch and grow their own vegetables. It's a great way for kids to learn more about the goodness of vegetables through hands-on experience that will continue to grow with them as they do. Well done to the EnviroGroup!
