After nine months of hard work, the Noosa Community Garden is looking exceptional.
Garden spokeswoman Erika Hackett said through sheer perseverance and hard work they had established the garden with amazing help from Noosa Council, Waves of Kindness, students from the Australian Industry Trade College and other local contributors.
The garden’s membership has also grown during this period after it located to a prime position close to other community groups such as the Library, Leisure centre, Noosa Parks Association, Noosa Community Support Services, Meals on Wheels and the Respite Centre.
“Our garden group meets every Friday at 7.30am, when people walk past the garden we invite them to have a walk through the garden and tell them how things have developed over the past nine months,“ Erika said.
“Community Gardens provide space for people to connect with nature, grow healthy food and form deep connections with other locals. Gardening is a great form of therapy, with benefits to well-being through social connections and also physical and psychological improvements.“
Noosa Community Garden will be officially opened on 7 May.
