Start with Seeds is a hands-on gardening and civics program for schools, communities and learners of all ages.
A cyclical program of 10 x1-hour lessons that can be started at any point of the school year, it seeks to provide all the learning benefits of a school garden program for low cost and minimum effort.
Developed in schools of the Huon Valley, the Start with Seeds Program was produced with support from Healthy Tasmania and Huon Valley Council.
