The school garden was planted to teach children important lessons about healthy eating, the environment and sustainability.

Fresh produce from the garden will be used in the canteen and will be sold at the school's regular market days.

School administration manager Beth Munro said students had been excited by planting and harvesting their own vegetables.

"They can have a hand in seeing real food grow, rather than just appear in the supermarket,'' she said.

"They were so enthusiastic when they got to taste some of the foods for the first time.''

The garden was thought up by the school's P & C committee and also contains marigolds.
