Student volunteers were very excited earlier in May to dig up this fantastic crop of red star and white sweet potatoes that were then given to the Food Technology classes.

If you or your family have had experience and success growing warm climate vegetables in western Melbourne like Okra, sweet potato, cassava, taro, dragon fruit, ginger, tumeric, lemon grass and others please get in touch via email at hodoherty@crcstalbans.com.au to share your stories and tips!

We're also looking for families support on a number of garden projects coming up later in the year. If you have any experience in building and construction, brick laying, welding, pizza oven building and clay rendering or just an all round passion for gardening and growing food, we'd love to hear from you. Please email your interest to hodoherty@crcstalbans.com.au
