we want our kids to be mindful of the environment – the garden is where that all begins

Long before the herbs, marrows and tomatoes ripen or burst into bloom, Megan Gale and her children, Louis, 2, and Pallas, 5, can be found elbow deep in the picturesque garden surrounding their Bellingen cottage. “I’ve always loved food. My granddad had a great garden, I remember eating vegetables before they made it to the dinner plate,” Gale explains. “These days, it’s much the same with my own children – they're more likely to eat veggies if they’ve grown and picked them for themselves. I think it’s important they understand where their food comes from and how it grows in season.”
