Artarmon Public School grounds include plenty of large trees, a covered outdoor leisure area (COLA), and some established gardens.
The Kindergarten playground has a playing surface of artificial turf too. We often rake the leaves and bark off the fake grass.
There are currently 3 veggie gardens within the school which grow a variety of veggies throughout the years, some of which are harvested for the canteen, for gardening volunteers, and most importantly for the children and families to learn where food comes from and experience gardening.
The school is participating in the ‘Ready, Set, Grow' program run by Willoughby City Council, which focuses on composting and veggie gardening involving the students with linkages to the curriculum. Many children have been watering the veggie gardens, and some classes and the canteen are involved in composting food scraps.
The school grounds are ever-changing, so the gardening committee strives to support that change and make best use of the grounds.
Our school now has a wonderful multicultural garden. This is thanks to a donation from Toyota and a fun day of gardening by students assisted by parents and teachers.
The garden not only looks fantastic, but it is growing plants to represent every continent in the world. It will no doubt create a lot of discussion about different countries and continents in the world, as well as interest in gardening.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land. We pay our respects to the elders past, present and future, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the nation. We must always remember that under this concrete and clay, this is, was and always will be, traditional Aboriginal land.
