The secret world of food

These school holidays, bring your children down to explore the Secret World of Food at Boronia library between 19 – 24 January 2026. This hands-on, interactive experience designed for young children and families will explore the food cycle from farm to compost. It will help kids understand where food comes from and why it matters.

At the Secret World of Food, through pretend play, you can:

pick vegetables from a farm

take them to market

cook them

compost the scraps

This activation supports Knox community to create healthier food systems and educate about sustainable food practices.

The Secret World of Food is a great opportunity for children to learn about the journey food takes from farm to plate through an interactive adventure.

This initiative is supported by Knox Council and Health and Wellbeing Plan, under Theme one – Enhancing community connection to vital services and resources and Theme two – Embracing connection, inclusion and diversity.

Further information is available on the Council and Health and Wellbeing Plan webpage.

Where: Boronia Library, 7 Park Cres, Boronia

When: 1pm Monday 19 January – 10am Saturday 24 January, during library hours.

Cost: Free

No registration required
