More information

The Kids Edible Gardens Guide for Early Childhood Centres was published in 2002. The guide was created as a tool, to be used when it is felt appropriate by individual staff members. It outlines the specific topics that can be included in the centre’s program and gives suggestions of appropriate experiences. 

The guide also provides a framework detailing the essential knowledge, skills and attitudes that children will gain by being part of the project, and links these with the learning outcomes as outlined in Te Whāriki. Teachers will therefore be able to use the context of the edible garden project to support children’s learning and development across the curriculum.
