Gotta' love kids........we look forward to seeing their project develop over the coming months!
The Merri Corner Community Garden was conceived in the middle of 2006 by a group of passionate East Brunswick locals. A vacant block set amongst apartments and adjacent to the Merri Creek was begging for a creative use and so meetings began and plans took shape.
Turning this under-utilised vacant plot into a dynamic, creative garden has loads of benefi ts for the Brunswick community. It’s a place to grow fresh fruit and vegies for people who don’t have gardens. We can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by cutting food miles and packaging. It’ll be great for meeting other local residents. And of course, a garden is a place to relax, stroll, or simply enjoy the colour it adds to an urban landscape.
Gardening in a group like this brings with it a real sense of Community working together.....I believe all participants had fun ,plenty of digging,plenty of food and drink and plenty of Fiskars friendship!
A fabulous Fiskars initiative!!
