Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden National Pilot Project
The Australian Government has committed $12.8 million to 190 Australian primary schools over four years for the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden National Pilot Project.
The aim of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program is for children to gain first hand appreciation of growing, cooking and eating healthy food. It is anticipated that the program will broaden their horizons of fruit and vegetables and provide a life-long appreciation of healthy eating.
190 schools nationally will be provided a grant of up to $60,000 to put the pilot project in place. This will require the development of a vegetable garden, building kitchen facilities and integrating the program into the school curriculum.
Further information on the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden National Pilot Project will be made available through this link shortly. For more information about the pilot project please email the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing through the PHD Frontdesk.
