Richgro: Helping Schools Bring Garden Projects to Life
Richgro supports grant-funded school gardens with the supply of quality, nutrient-rich soils, composts, mulches and ancillary garden products made for Australian conditions. A garden is not just for seasoned gardeners; it’s a playground of discovery for young minds eager to explore nature’s wonders, nurture a love for the environment but also create lasting memories. Unleashing their green thumbs will cultivate a passion for gardening and a respect for our environment that will continue to blossom as they grow.
Creating a vibrant school garden is more than just planting seeds – it’s about nurturing curiosity, responsibility, and sustainability in every child. As an accredited national supplier under the government’s school grant program, Richgro is proud to support Australian schools in building productive, sustainable gardens that inspire future generations.
