Household gardens give hope

30 October 2024 | Shannen Harte

Through the support of the Department of Agriculture, we recently did some home visits out in the community where we provided garden starter kits to destitute families enabling them to start up their own gardens at home. The kits included everything needed to grow fresh produce and encourage food sustainability at home. 

With the extensive knowledge from the Department and our own gardening team we have been able to provide valuable education, tips and tricks on growing and harvesting fresh fruit and vegetables. 

What is great about this project is that our home-based care workers were also able to get involved and ensure the sustainability of the gardens through their weekly visits. We look forward to sharing more success stories on our community household gardens.
