Indigenous Medicine and Food Gardens in Schools
Gunawirra, Australia
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.
