A fundraising weekend held at Musk Garden has raised more than $35,000 for Daylesford Primary School's kitchen garden project.

Ms Wolf-Tasker said the money raised was an extraordinary result that virtually guaranteed a new kitchen for students in the program.

Three years ago Ms Wolf-Tasker approached Daylesford Primary School principal Peter Burke with a plan to have an integrated food growing and cooking program as part of the DPS curriculum.

Funds raised from the government and many local initiatives allowed the school garden and a cooking program to be established in an old science room and canteen.

Children from grade three and up spend an hour in the kitchen and garden each week but the need for a fully equipped kitchen has remained on the wish list.

Recently DPS was a successful applicant under the new Federal Building program for a large shared-use building, in which the school hoped to house the new kitchen.

Ms Wolf-Tasker said the recent Musk Farm fundraiser would virtually make it a reality.

Last weekend Ms Wolf-Tasker joined forces with interior designer Stuart Rattle to run an open garden weekend at his property, Musk Farm, which he has resurrected and developed from what remained of the old Musk schoolhouse and grounds.

The weekend saw people coming from all over Australia for the event.

"It was an extraordinary community effort," Ms Wolf-Tasker said.

"We catered for over 2000 people and although Stuart and I and our army of volunteers were barely standing by the end of Sunday the sense of purpose at the prospect of a job well done for this worthy cause was palpable.

"The notion of educating children in the joys of growing, cooking and sharing food is life affirming."

DPS principal Peter Burke said the school was "overwhelmed by the generosity."
