24 Carrot Gardens is an education program of the Material Institute

We work with schools to establish kitchen gardens, where students learn to grow, cook and share seasonal food. This seed-to-plate approach builds practical skills while fostering curiosity, creativity and connection with food and one another.

24 Carrot Gardens is a place-based activation to drive long-term systems change.

The challenges of low food literacy and limited access to locally grown, nutritious and affordable food won’t be solved overnight, but through an engaging learning model we can start to change cycles of disadvantage and promote more positive and healthy trajectories over the span of a generation.

The program, which is centred around inquiry and enjoyment, equips young people with practical skills, positive habits and an appetite for lifelong learning.

We are proud to garden alongside these 24 schools in Lutruwita/Tasmania.
