The garden located within the grounds of Government House will produce fresh, healthy produce to be donated directly to School Food Matters and so play a small role in feeding the future of Tasmania.
As the Patron of Eat Well Tasmania, Her Excellency and the staff at Government House have created a new and exciting project that aims to connect communities, engage with young people and provide fresh, healthy produce to the School Food Matters School Lunch project.
In addition to growing fresh produce, the project will also engage with local schools and students and give Tasmanian students the opportunity to visit Government House, work in the garden and learn about growing and enjoying local fresh produce.
To illustrate further the vision for this project and the impact the School Food Matters School Lunch Project is having, a short feature video has been developed.
