Community: Connecting and Learning on the Farm

Farm My School Community Connection

 🌱 What does community-connected learning really look like?⁠

Educators and community members gathered at Farm My School Colac for an inspiring day exploring how schools, farms and communities can work together to create meaningful learning experiences.⁠

Students led a farm tour to share firsthand how Farm My School is transforming education through hands-on learning and connection.⁠

Mike Robinson-Koss from Otway Greening facilitated a session exploring how endemic plants can be a catalyst for community engagement, biodiversity and environmental learning within schools and local communities.⁠

Farm My School CEO and co-founder, James McLennan, then hosted a Curriculum to Community workshop to demonstrate how school gardens can strengthen school-community connections and create real-world impact beyond the classroom.⁠

Gardens are more than gardens.⁠
Farms are more than farms.⁠

They are places for conversation, passing on knowledge and connecting people.⁠

The day also created space for networking, collaboration and big-picture thinking! ⁠

Thanks to the Victorian School Gardens Program for supporting the day.⁠
