Macquarie Primary School - ACT

Macquarie Primary School in Canberra are turning their vegie garden program into a thriving community hub, where students, teachers, and families come together to grow, learn, and share the joys of sustainable gardening. Through the Seed the Future program, students have grown a variety of heirlooms including: Corn 'Breakthrough', Cucumber 'Crystal Apple', Eggplant 'Slim Jim', as well as four varieties of tomatoes and zucchini. We thank our members for making this support possible and encourage others to get involved!

What is Seed the Future?

Seed the Future is a community initiative by The Diggers Club, supporting schools, community gardens, and local projects with donated heirloom seeds. Through these partnerships, we aim to inspire new generations to grow fresh, nutritious food and foster a love for gardening.

For every new membership, we donate one packet of seeds to #seedthefuture.

How can we support your school or garden?

If you would like to become a recipient of our Seed The Future fund, we would love to hear from you!

We are looking to help schools and communities who are in need of our support by way of donation of seeds.  It's easy to get involved, the first step is to email foundation@diggers.com.au with your request. We will soon be in touch to discuss your needs and eligibility.
