Our Kitchen Garden

Margaret River's Climate Action Group (patron: Ben Elton), along with TV chef Ian Parmenter, have an exciting new project for us.  We are operating a kitchen garden, and will soon have a working kitchen, here at school, using sustainable methods.

September 2007:  This is the spot!

Feb 2008 : the grass has been allowed to die over summer.  Soon we can dig it up!

June 2008 : here we go!

August 2008 : moving along!

October 2008 : working, working...

December 2008 : ready to go!

February 2009 - nearly there

April 2009 - first planting

June 2009 - growing well!

September 2009:  Rebecca Cool, who did the fabulous artwork for our Kitchen Garden, launched the book Isabella's Garden at Margaret River Bookshop.  Rebecca did the artwork for this wonderful book which was written by Glenda Millard.
