“This initiative keeps the focus on healthy eating, but most importantly gives the ladies the sense of being empowered to grow their own food, have something positive to do at home & reminds us of our connection to community." - Pip Gordon, Banatjarl Strongbala Wimun Grup. (3/3)

Members of the Banatjarl Strongbala Wimun Grup, part of @jawoyn, visited the Katherine Food Ladder to collect seedlings, which will be distributed to women around the region to enable them to start their own food gardens. (2/3)

Native basil is one of our most important crops at the Katherine Food Ladder and is pivotal in making the project a profitable social enterprise. The native basil is harvested and dried on site, and then sold to restaurants and food businesses around the country.

As well as adding some nice colour to your garden, flowers also act as a deterrent for insect pests. We recommend geraniums, marigolds and nasturtiums. Herbs are also a great alternative, and you can eat them too! #TipTuesday

Produce boxes packed full of lettuce, choy sum, tomatoes, eggplant, basil and curry leaves (plus a recipe book!) were picked and delivered to the community in just a matter of hours! Thrilled to be working with VACCA and ACAH on this exciting project in Werribee South, Melbourne.

Using recycled materials, like old tyres, paint tins and jam jars, is not only good for the planet, it also helps you save money! When it comes to gardening, your imagination is your only limitation. #TipTuesday

.@eonfoundation delivered trays of sown seeds to Katherine Food Ladder to get them growing in our seedling greenhouse. Due to the current lockdown, EON can't visit their projects. Instead they are growing seedlings which will be transported to communities to help them grow food.

We were thrilled to host @savechildrenaus who visited Katherine Food Ladder to collect tomato seedlings. Excitingly we will be partnering with the team to establish our first community garden plot, a safe place for support workers & families to interact & learn how to grow food.

Did you know, even if you have 🐝 in your garden, it's a good idea to pollinate flowers by hand? Watch Horticulture & Training Manager Scott McDonald explain how to do it. Scott pollinated pumpkin flowers but the same trick applies to melons, cucumbers, zucchinis etc. #TipTuesday

It's been a busy few months at the Shaheed Bhagat Singh School in Delhi. The Food Ladder has gone from strength to strength, with new crops being sown and harvested on a weekly basis. Keep up the good work!
