The collective has commenced planning and construction of our community garden! We have exciting workshops and community garden days coming up – watch this space for more info and how to be involved!
The Collective will commence planning and construction of our Community Garden early this year, with funding from the Shire of Moora making this project possible. We have local garden gurus Joey Seymour and Tracy Humphrey at the helm of this project and cannot wait to get stuck into the garden.
In case you missed the news of our community garden, here’s a little recap.
The Gardiner Street Arts Collective is planning to create 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.
