Since 2008 Coles has been providing School Garden Grants of up to $1,000 to schools and youth groups to help create gardens in their grounds or community, such as bush tucker gardens, water wise gardens or veggie gardens.
These programs encourage students to learn about the environment through “outdoor learning” and interaction in developing their own school gardens.
2010, Coles embarked on a special Indigenous gardens project with Junior Landcare. This project will help to establish bush tucker and veggie gardens in 30 Indigenous pre schools all over New South Wales.
The bush tucker garden programs aim to assist indigenous students and communities through developing veggie gardens to learn about the importance of nutrition and fruit and vegetables in lead a healthy lifestyle.
NOTE: All schools, kindergartens, daycare centers, and youth groups (i.e. Scouts) are eligible to apply for a Junior Landcare grant.
