Getting Started - 16 & 23 May
Getting Started is an introductory workshop series suitable for anyone new to pleasurable food education aimed at primary and secondary educators, but early childhood educators are welcome to attend. It is also beneficial for Kitchen Garden programs who have new or additional staff to train.
Join the Kitchen Garden Foundation team for two interactive workshops (1 x 60 minutes and 1 x 120 minutes). Participants will receive collections of supporting resources to study in their own time. Please read these prior to the workshop to get the most out of the session times together.
This workshop series is designed to give participants an insight into the pleasurable food education philosophy, key tips on establishing a garden and kitchen in your school or service, an overview of kitchen and garden experiences and classes, inspiration for linking to learning and how to engage your local community.

Over the two interactive workshops and through the provided resource collections, participants will:
- understand what pleasurable food education is
- consider how to establish a garden and kitchen in your context
- develop a sense of what kitchen garden classes and experiences look like
- explore opportunities for linking to learning
- understand how to connect to your community
