Black Forest primary’s school food garden is probably Australia’s oldest.

Thanks to the work of innovative and dedicated teachers, the garden integrates with curriculum subjects and features an outdoor classroom.

Here are some pics from our school gardens 25th birthday celebration. Malcolm Campbell judged the pumpkin competition and we invited the volunteers who started the garden 25 years ago. they were really happy to see it still going strong.

The school choir leads the celebration of a great 25 garden years.

Chris also, a student at Adelaide’s Black Forest Primary School, celebrates.

I’ve got plans to extend the garden a little to make room for more fruit trees & chooks later this year.
