In case you missed the news of our community garden, here’s a little recap.

The Gardiner Street Arts Collective is creating a community garden located at the rear of the premises. Ideas have been gathered from community members and local gardening gurus who have donated their time and expertise to this project.

The goals for the garden are to:

further enhance the Collective for both visitors, locals and artists
to foster a friendly, supportive and spirited community of all ages using the Collective
demonstrate gardening as a creative pursuit to local children using recycling, low-cost options and water wise principles to create a living art piece
to welcome another group within the Moora community into the combined arts space
to provide opportunity for showcasing indigenous gardening of local plants, providing opportunity for story telling in the future in a safe and welcoming environment for all ages
to create a safe, meditative environment for those wishing to participate in arts activities who may need time out in a relaxing environment using aroma and colour as therapeutic modalities, and
to give extra space and the natural environment as an opportunity for people to socialise and bond in a welcoming environment, that facilitates growth and sustainability.

The Collective are so excited to be developing up this project and cannot to share the planning and construction with our community.

» Pots
» Shuttles (1000l pods)
» 44-gallon drums
