The Hands-On Program:

Welcome to the Little Sprouts Kitchen Garden Learning Program (Early Years and Primary STEM Program) at Adelaide Botanic Garden!

This program has been designed to align with National Australian Curriculum requirements. It provides groups of students from Pre-School to Lower Secondary with hands on experiences in an engaging outdoor learning environment led by our awesome botanic educator and volunteers. The Kitchen Garden will showcase the benefits of growing fresh, healthy produce instilling healthy habits from a young age.

Early Years and Primary Years:

Children will undertake activities that utilise play and exploration, exciting their natural sense of wonder and engaging all the senses. Learners will meet our friendly worms; learn about and plant their own seeds; and join us for a sensory wander, and plantings allowing, a harvest to take back with them!

Hands-On STEM for Primary Years and Lower Secondary:

Learners will test soil health in the kitchen garden, understanding pH, water and other requirements for a healthy garden; they will complete an audit for pollinators in the garden; and take a potted seed home!
