Gardening assistance and training

Some senior students will assist shedders to grow seeds and seedlings in the coming weeks. Concurrently a short course will be run on gardening. Furthermore shedders are volunteering to landscape the Open Door Building surrounds. In the photo are shedder-built raised beds and planter-boxes-on-legs (to assist drainage). This week these areas will be given weeding and fertilising.

OpenDoorBuilding-ShedderAssisted

Shedders helped plan, build, landscape the shed room and assemble a donated coolroom within. The building was opened Thurs 28th April by Mayor Gr Dandenong Cr Roz Blades.

The feet of the some shedders and partners who helped. Time to listen.

The ribbon cutting celebrates the combined contribution of volunteers, shedders, council, and a list of sponsors including food donors.
