Daceyville Public School's Award Winning Garden

Daceyville Public School garden project

What started as a small garden at Daceyville Public School has turned into a whole-of-school and community project that has now been recognised with a state award.

Daceyville Public was the overall winner in the ‘Grow it Local’ competition, an initiative supported by councils across the state to get Australians growing, eating, and sharing more local produce.

From humble beginnings, the garden has become part of the school’s DNA, with weekly visits by an external gardener and the entire school population involved in its upkeep.

Principal Sally Ann Mullane said there were multiple fruit and vegetable gardens and even a chicken coop, with concerted efforts to work with the local community through the school’s ‘Harmony Garden’.
