Do you find children's eating habits are deteriorating? That there
is a crisis in health due to poor diet? That the general level of
gardening skills is degenerating? To address these problems Seed
Savers has published a ninety page book, Seed to Seed Food Gardens in
Schools for teachers, educators and educational planners, school
staff and parents.
The authors of Seed to Seed Food Gardens in Schools are Jo Immig, an
environmental scientist and co-ordinator of the National Toxics
Network who has written several books including the "The Toxic
Playground" and "Safer Solutions" which detail how to avoid
hazardous chemicals and better safeguard children's health from
environmental pollution and me, Jude Fanton, gardener and long-time
dreamer of food gardens in schools.
There are suggestions for activities, a resource list with books,
websites, resource centres and non-hybrid seed companies, and a list
of sixty-six Local Seed Networks around Australia.
The production of the book grew out of the making of a food garden
at Byron Bay Public School. Photos of that process illustrate the
book,along with amusing black and white drawings throughout by Dr
Liz Elliott.
You can buy a hard copy from us here at Seed Savers in black and
white with a coloured cover for $20.00 post paid, or for free as a
