The Kitchen-Garden @ Berwick Fields 

We are growing a new kind of tree in the kitchen-garden. A Rubbish Tree. Is it beautiful?… Not really. But we do hope that it captures lots of attention and gets people talking about it.

The rubbish hanging from this tree is rubbish that we find in the kitchen-garden. Mostly (and unfortunately) the rubbish is found in our compost when we think it is ready to use. This shows that not everyone is being careful in making sure that only fruit, vegie scraps, light paper and pencil shavings go into the compost bins. I don’t want my vegies growing in a pile of rubbish… do you?

If you are looking for some activities to do in your kitchen-garden, check out our new “Things to do in the Kitchen-Garden” page. There’s a few of the activities we do at Berwick Fields for you to read about and many more that will be added in the coming weeks. Don’t forget to leave some feedback if you find these useful! Happy gardening!

It’s the beginning of a new semester in the Kitchen-Garden, and that means a new bunch of gardeners! Over the last two weeks, our new gardeners have been learning about how a typical session in the garden runs and also going for their garden/wheelbarrow licences! If you would like to know more about our garden/wheelbarrow licences, click here:

the chickens have been good but they eat a lot, they love to be held, they love steping in there poop, they love sleeping under the tree in the chicken coop, they like laying eggs and they lay 3 to 10 eggs a day.
