22.01.2022 Surfside community... follow us for garden updates, tips etc on the Fresh Food Fair Instagram account, @surfsidefreshfoodfair . .. Raising from seed... you don’t need fancy or specialised pots! Repurpose a plastic food container by punching a few extra holes in the base for drainage, add your seed raising mix, and sow those seeds! Here we have red Russian kale seedlings. Swipe to see the inbuilt mini greenhouse that comes with it. Pretty cool huh!

17.01.2022 Hi everyone, on a very hot Thursday, our four Kitchen Garden Captains, Mr Walsh and myself went to The Melbourne Botanical Gardens for the Victorian School Garden Awards. Thanks goes to Linda Giggins for polishing the Surfside submission into a gem, that sparkled for the judges, who awarded the Surfside Kitchen Garden a Regional Award and Best Edible Garden Award for our region. Thanks also go to all the previous Kitchen Garden teachers that have contributed to the creation... of the garden because it would not be what it is now, if not for their hard work. Some of the award money has gone towards the purchase of plants and mulch. GARDEN HELP NEEDED On Tuesday December 10th from 9am - 12:30pm there will be a working bee in the garden. Old plants have to be removed, dynamic lifter spread, the veggies planted and then there is mulch to be spread. You are welcome to come for any length of time. All help is very much appreciated. How many bales of hay do you think you can fit into the back of a Honda Jazz? (You’ll have to keep reading for the answer...) KITCHEN HELP NEEDED On Tuesday December 17th 9am - 3pm the kitchen will be thoroughly cleaned. You are welcome for whatever time you have to spare. There are lots of cupboards to clean and organise. SUMMER CHOOK ROSTER HELPERS If you would like to help look after the chooks and water the garden over the summer, please get in touch and I will add your details to the list of helpers. You get to collect and eat the yummy fresh eggs. I can show you what to do, so don’t worry if you haven’t had anything to do with chooks before. Email: [email protected] ....You can fit SIX bales of hay in the back of a Honda Jazz. And then you get stalactites of hay hanging off the roof Regards, Deb Taylor, Kitchen Garden Specialist.

08.01.2022 Take a virtual Tour around Surfside Primary School. Look forward to seeing you in 2021.
05.01.2022 As some of you may know, through the Geelong Advertiser and other newspaper articles, Surfside recently attended the Victorian Garden Awards and brought home some special awards. Surfside’s Kitchen Garden captains, Mitchell, Ryan, Lana, and Hannah, banded together with our wonderful Kitchen Garden representative: Ms Deb Taylor and our Principal, Mr Walsh and started their long journey to Melbourne, (on the 21st), where they were to attend an award ceremony. Even though the we...ather hadn’t been as pleasant as they would have liked, due to it being disturbingly hot with the day maxing at 41 they still managed to keep smiles on their faces. Their trip was separated into four modes of transport; car, train, tram and walking. Their destination was The Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. Once they had arrived they had a quick snack before attending the actual presentation where they sat for a few minutes while the hosts talked about how the Victorian Garden Awards started and other subjects based around the garden. Soon they were presenting the awards to the schools. Surfside managed to snag hold of a Regional Award which came with $350 vouchers. Although that seems pretty amazing the most remarkable event of the day was Surfside winning the Best Edible Garden Award (in all of Victoria), which also came with a great deal of money making the total money awarded that day, $1350! This fantastic sum of money will be used to advance and help create a better garden for Surfside Primary School. By Hannah Wilson and Lana Pagram, See more
