The Victorian Schools Garden Program offers professional development workshops which educate and encourage teachers, parents and volunteers to make the most of their outdoor spaces
These workshops are designed to help schools introduce or invigorate their garden programs. Participants are provided with the skills, knowledge and expertise needed to manage and increase the success of their gardening activities and explore ways to make outdoor learning a part of the curriculum.
Workshops allow participants to meet other like-minded enthusiasts, hear from gardening experts, and visit acclaimed school gardens.
