Garden to Table's aim is to introduce New Zealand primary and intermediate school students to good food that they have grown, harvested, cooked and shared in their own school or organisation, with the help of peers, volunteers and teachers. The students are involved in all aspects of gardening in an environmentally sustainable garden, cooking and then enjoying a delicious, seasonal meal they have produced themselves. Students' knowledge, gained by being engaged in both the garden and kitchen, is taken back to their classroom where it is reinforced in their day-to-day learning. These new learning threads are then picked up by the classroom teacher and woven through the curriculum as a whole. The Programme aims to provide children with sustainable skills for life, that can be taken back to their families, whanau and communities.
