THE EINGANA GARDEN PROJECT IS A HEALTH AND PLAY PROGRAM ENHANCING THE WELL-BEING OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN WHILE PROMOTING LINKS BETWEEN THE PRESCHOOL CENTRE AND THE GREATER COMMUNITY
Each community designs, builds and tends a garden with traditional bush tucker and a vegetable patch. Lessons on good nutrition and health are woven in with community days where Aboriginal elders tell stories and all sing songs together. In addition, children are given a plant to take and care for at home.
This helps to foster a sense of community, while ensuring that the importance of nutrition is well understood among the community members.

One Health closed doors in 2021 after 15 years of working hard to further our mission to stop the number one killer today - the rising chronic disease rates in vulnerable communities in Australia and internationally.
We worked as consultants, problem solvers and mentors with a wide variety of changemakers from local communities, NGOs and health & social services to solve complex public health issues.
