CHILD AND FAMILY CENTRE GETS A GARDEN UPGRADE

Children and adults visiting The Child & Family Centre on Toolooa Street can now enjoy spending time in the centre’s garden. 

The Child & Family Centre is home to a number of service providers, including GAPDL’S Communities for Children (CfC) program. Wendy Morris, Executive Officer at CfC said centre’s facilities now feature a sand pit and a fairy garden amongst other upgrades to seating and a general tidy of the centre’s yard. Great support for garden improvements has also been received from the community. In early November Wendy put the call out to social media for donation of any plant cuttings or seedlings that could be used in the new gardens. The community has certainly delivered, and while a work in progress, programs that use the centre are already enjoying the new features. Wendy said CfC are looking at planting edible plants in one garden bed to establish a kitchen garden.
