About this listen
We all know a garden can transform the look and feel of a place, but the Indigenous Garden, designed and built by the students of Warrnambool College is doing so much more. Inside the native garden, you’ll find edible plants and indigenous art work. The students enjoy it for the connection to country and the opportunity to grow food and plants that are meaningful to them.
The garden is the brainchild of Anthea Rafferty, an art and design teacher at Warrnambool College. And while it’s being used for horticulture lessons and even landscaping in architecture and art… the garden is being incorporated into many other subjects too, including maths, english and science.
This “living classroom” concept has already had a positive impact on students’ learning and wellbeing. Now, Anthea wants to bring this holistic approach to learning to schools right across the region.
