o: Final Week of the Tucker Box Project

Welcome to the Tucker Box Project Blog Page

To celebrate Fruit and Vegetable Month in September RHealth is launching the Tucker Box Project in partnership with the re-opening of the revitalised Kingaroy Community Garden.

The Tucker Box Project is an RHealth initiative to provide families with an opportunity to grow vegetables at home.
The first 50 families to register have received a Tucker Box Kit including:
Soil, Vegetable Seedlings, Fertiliser and an Information Kit

The aim of the Tucker Box Project is to challenge 50 families to grow the best looking and tasting vegetables in Kingaroy over a 12 week period.

Families will pick up their Tucker Box Kit on Saturday 17 September between 9-12pm at the Pound Street Community Garden in Kingaroy. Over the following 12 weeks families will receive fortnightly newsletter updates (including recipes and tips on growing delicious vegetables), be able to particpate in monthly competitions to win a $50 voucher to Kingaroy Garden Centre and have the opportunity to grow, cook and eat some delicious seasonal vegetables!

Keep coming back to this site to see delicious fruit and vegetable recipes, photos of everyone's Tucker Box's and keep up to date with how the Project is going.

For more information on the Project, contact Berneice at RHealth on 07 4162 5230 or email berneice@rhealth.com.au

Happy Vegetable Growing!!

Final Week of the Tucker Box Project

Hi Everyone,

What a fun three months it has been!
Thank you everyone for so enthusiastically participating in this project. We hope that this has started the gardening bug in you and inspired you to begin growing your own vegetables at home.

The final Tucker Box Competition was to send in a picture of your vegetables being eaten or as part of a dish.

We have a winner for the final month - and it's Sancia Rose! Thank you Sancia for these wonderful looking dishes, you have won a $50 voucher to Kingaroy Garden Centre.

The first dish is a Spinach Chicken and Tomato Wrap

The second dish Sancia sent in is a Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry

and the third dish Sancia made with her home grown vegetables is a Spinach and Lettuce Salad with Chicken

What a great way to incorporate spinach and lettuce into your everyday meals. The more variety and colour you can get into your dishes the more nutritious they will be.

Final Survey

To evaluate the program and determine if we need to make any changes and if we'll do it again next year, we are conducting a short survey for everyone that participated.
We will be emailing and posting out survey forms in the next week. Everyone that returns a form will receive a free RHealth BBQ Toolkit - perfect for this Summer's BBQ season!
