ABOUT THE FOUNDER
My name is George Koukkoullis.
I am a qualified horticulturist and horticulture teacher with over 20 years of experience, including more than 10 years delivering EYLF-aligned garden programs within childcare settings.
I specialise in hands-on, practical gardening programs that engage children and support their learning, development, and connection to the natural environment.
