Getting kids into DIY gardening adventures needs very little encouragement when it comes to dirt, worms, bugs, mud, hammers, paint, glue and nails! We are here to support all gardening adventurers: teachers, parents, grandparents, even uni students! With competitions, freebies and resources for all.

We are proudly a DIG IN & DO IT OURSELVES nation! From building garden beds, worm and compost bins, making a trellis, bird house, garden seats and garden signs to vegetable patches, herb and flower beds. It is all on the GROW! Document your activities as you grow because you may need photos, videos, stories and more to partake in competitions, and of course share your inspiring stories with others on this website!
