Go, get out there and dig it! Creating a kitchen garden is a great way to introduce children to food. It doesn't have to be a big garden, herbs in pots are a good start. It doesn't even have to be your own garden, you can help out at your local community vegetable plot or school kitchen garden.

Ok, so it can take a little bit of time, but just think of the joy, the artistry and the satisfaction....

seed to seed

Seed to Seed - Food Gardens in Schools is a fabulous resource written by Jude Fanton and Jo Immig who are passionate advocates and they hope their book will "inspire a rebirth of food gardens so children will be able to enjoy gardening and growing their own food and their own seed for the next season". If you even harbour a tiny little lingering thought about establishing a kitchen garden at your school (or at home), then make sure you get this book first. It contains an amazing amount of detail and takes you on the whole journey - planning, breaking ground, planting, maintaining, harvesting & eating, saving seeds. It is available for purchase for $20 or download as a FREE PDF at SeedSavers.
