The Mobile Garden will have many benefits!  It will:

  • Showcase vegetables and herbs growing.
  • Be powered by solar panels!
  • Give kids a taste of what can be achieved with renewable energy.
  • Feature Aquaponics which is sure to amaze the kids as the plants will be Watered & Fed from the onboard fish tank.
  • Bring the garden to the kids and to locations where no garden exist!

image As kids learn best by seeing and doing, this project will be able to teach kids important life skills that they can carry with for the rest oftheir life, and who knows maybe it will inspire some of the kids into a career in renewable energy or enviromental gardening design.

 

Educational Kids Club Website

The second project is to create an exclusive learning website for kids to access all the gardening information & tips they need to grow organic produce at home and at school. This information will be provided in a fun way with lots of activities and garden projects they can do at home and at school for that matter.

  • Lots of How To Guides set out in a simple & fun way for kids to understand.
  • Froplanting their favourite vegetables to making a fairy garden and lots more.
  • Teach kids Life Skills that they can use for a Healthier Future. 

Eating fresh Organic Produce should not be a choice based on a financial situation. It should be readilly available for everyone, including kids. Learning how to grow it at home is the answer!

imageAbout Organic City Farms

Hi my name is Jarrod Layton and I have spent the last 25 years working as a retail manager in the Hardware industry. I have always had a passion for Organic Gardening and Construction of furniture and other items for inside & outside the home. 3 years ago I was involved in a terrible workplace accident that has changed my life forever as I am unable to work in a field that I have always loved. My disability caused me to look for other avenues to support my family as I am unable to do so many things physically that I used to. The one strength I have always had is my knowledge of Organic Gardening, Constuction & Leadership so I needed to find something where I could use my mind instead of my body.

I have 2 girls aged 8 & 11 who are both fit & healthy but when I looked around at school I saw so many kids that were making the wrong decisions on what they ate, causing so imagemany health problems today and in the future. After researching this I found out that the majority of kids are in the same situation and face major health problems as they grow up. I then knew what I was going to do with my life and that was to teach our kids how easy it is to ‘ Grow Your Own ‘ Organic food at home.

I started developing products for home gardening and created a business called Organic City Farms. I have also developed a school incursion program to be able to go into schools and teach kids all about planting and growing organic seedlings. I made the program very affordable starting at only $3 as I wanted to get the message across that it was time for a change. We have started working with schools in Wyndham and are now spreading our program across Melbourne and soon other capital cities as well.image Now I want to take this program a step further by creating a Mobile Organic Garden that can be taken around to the schools with our program to help inspire kids to start growing organic food at home.
