Kitchen Garden Kickstart Grants

These grants are designed to enable schools to kickstart a successful and sustainable Kitchen Garden Program. Grant funds support the purchase of key infrastructure and are often spent on items such as garden beds, ovens, accessible work top benches, greenhouses and outdoor learning spaces. 

12 successful schools will each receive a 2-year Kitchen Garden Program Membership and a once-off $5,000 grant to spend on kickstarting or boosting their Program. The grant will enable schools to purchase necessary garden and/or kitchen materials, such as garden beds, garden tools, benches, pots and pans – whatever the school needs to support their Program to grow!

The Program Membership Package valued at $2728, includes:

• Printed resource package (including 8 books)

The $5,000 grant can be used for items that relate to the development of garden or kitchen infrastructure and/or the equipment and resources to support the Kitchen Garden Program.
