Lee Mathews is proud to partner with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, supporting its work to bring hands-on food education to children and young people across Australia.

Founded by renowned cook and food writer Stephanie Alexander AO, the Foundation helps children develop positive lifelong relationships with fresh food through the experience of growing, harvesting, preparing and sharing it. It is a philosophy Lee Mathews has long admired, grounded in the simple rituals of the garden, kitchen and table, and the connection they create.

Beginning in August 2026, the multi-year partnership will unfold through a series of community gatherings, educational storytelling and retail initiatives, alongside the creation of aprons for students and educators participating in the Kitchen Garden Program across Australia.

The partnership will also offer the Lee Mathews community meaningful ways to support the Foundation through in-store giving, special events and exclusive merchandise, helping its food education programs reach more children and communities across the country.

Together, Lee Mathews and the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation celebrate the enduring value of growing, cooking and sharing food, and the knowledge, confidence and connection that begins in the garden and carries through to the table.
