Community
Changing the world, one backyard at a time.
Our Community Involvement
We are passionate about giving back to the community, through our wide range of education programs and projects.
If you have an upcoming event or project, why not get in touch as we may be able to offer you support to assist – love nothing more than making a positive impact to our local community.
Red Cross Australia – Lady Lawley Cottage Cottesloe
We are fortunate enough to work with some amazing community groups, including Lady Lawley Cottage in Cottesloe – a day care and residential respite for children with disabilities in Perth.
Our team donated a beautiful sensory garden for the children and families staying at the cottage, transforming an unfunctional space into an interactive and edible garden for residents to enjoy.
We filled the wheelchair friendly garden with fragrant herbs, an array of textures and pops of colour – connecting families to natures through all their senses with the aim to brighten the days of those in need.
