Brief History of the Garden

The QE School Garden was started by a dedicated team of teachers, parent volunteers, and students in 2009-10, with the installation of 4 garden boxes.  In 2010-11 a kindergarten garden was created, and the Fruit Orchard was installed.  2011-12 will see the installation of 6 more garden boxes, and the expansion and conversion of the kindergarten garden area to herb beds for use in the school teaching kitchen.
