KU Preschool Mini Bushwalk Garden

Figtree Aboriginal Nation: Dharawal Country Completed: 2024

Located on former church grounds with deep community roots, KU Preschool’s garden offers a place for learning, gathering, and growing. At the entrance, a “mini bushwalk” invites preschoolers into a world of textures, movement, and discovery — featuring endemic planting, recycled stepping stones, and playful sculptures by local artist Orlando Norrish. Sand stones from the site’s old church garden have been respectfully repurposed into a yarning circle, while raised edible beds foster hands-on learning. The project is an ongoing collaboration, with community members actively contributing to the garden’s evolution.
