Get grOWING! FOR YOURSELF & YOUR COMMUNITY
As we experience this unprecedented time, it can be hard to hear the news both from overseas and locally. There are things we can do during this time to take care of ourselves and contribute to the communities around us.
One way to do this is to get outside into the garden...
Everyday Edibles, is a place-based easy to follow planting and food storage guide, adapted from Food Gardens on UTAS campuses *, showing common foods you can grow at different times of the year as well as tips for storing your food for longer. Getting our hands in the soil has many benefits for our health and wellbeing. Improving our soil through composting and growing foods that we can share with others around us are important ways we can be active in our community. Food waste takes up a significant portion of our landfill bins and we can all take part in reducing the food waste to landfill by using what we have and learning how to store food to reduce waste. Imagine the impact on our landfill sites across our island if all staff and students started composting at home!
