Mission:
Our mission is to inspire young minds to explore the wonders of nature through gardening. We aim to foster creativity, responsibility, and teamwork by teaching children how to grow plants, care for the environment, and develop a deeper connection with the natural world. Together, we will nurture not only gardens but also the values of sustainability, patience, and the joy of learning.

At this meeting we will provide an introduction to this newest endeavor from the NT Rec Dept. Children, parents and caregivers, and educators are all welcome to attend.
An example of Grow Getter projects that we have coming up are:
