The online subscription program, Get Grubby for Families, featuring dirtgirl and Costa the Garden Gnome, is now available for Cessnock families   

Cessnock City Council has partnered with the award-winning children’s TV show dirtgirlworld to bring a free online subscription program called Get Grubby for Families to the wider Cessnock community.

Designed for families with 3 -10 year olds, this program provides resources to help families engage in fun sustainability focused activities such as growing a garden, making compost, recycling, DIY, and much more.

Cessnock City Council Mayor, Bob Pynsent said there’s no doubt the past year has been tough for parents and guardians with young children.

“This free subscription is one of the ways Council is continuing to support our local community whilst encouraging them on their journey to sustainability,” he said.

dirtgirlworld creator, Cate McQuillen says the Get Grubby for Families program is all about learning and growing together as a family and as a community.

“For the past 10 years dirtgirlworld and Get Grubby TV have been proud leaders in sustainability education and entertainment,” said Cate.

“Throughout the COVID-19 crisis we’ve witnessed a huge resurgence of interest in sustainable living and growing food, and there’s never been a more important time to support families on this path,” she said.

All families that reside in the Cessnock Local Government Area are eligible to access the Get Grubby for Families program for free. Sign up to the program online at www.dirtgirlworldshop.com/ggp-family-activate-cessnock
