Designed for children aged 3 to 10 years, the program provides local early learning services, primary schools and families with access to high quality, curriculum aligned learning resources that make caring for the environment both exciting and accessible.

Learn through play

Featuring much loved characters dirtgirl, scrapboy and Costa the Garden Gnome, the program encourages children to explore practical sustainability topics, including:

• Gardening and growing food
• Composting and reducing food waste
• Recycling and reuse
• Waste reduction
• Caring for the local environment

Through videos, activities, educator guides and printable learning materials, children can develop environmentally responsible habits while building a stronger connection with nature.
