Plants, bricks and green waste vouchers needed!
Please contact Erica via email ewilson@scballarat.catholic.edu.au if you are able to help. Thank you!
- Plants: We are beginning to create and plan our kitchen garden and are looking for any potted herbs, cuttings or seeds that you may be willing to donate from home. Can be as simple as a cutting from existing herbs in your very own garden (like Rosemary or Mint).
- Bricks: Do you have any unwanted bricks in your backyard? We would love to use them to create different sections in our garden beds.
- Green waste vouchers: Following our hugely successful working bee, we have a large amount of green waste that needs removing. If anyone in the community is able to assist us in the removal by donating green waste vouchers or loading up their trailer or ute, it would be much appreciated!
Please contact Erica via email ewilson@scballarat.catholic.edu.au if you are able to help. Thank you!
