THE Wauchope Community Garden will be buzzing with activity this Labour Day, Monday 6 October, as locals are invited to come along for a family-friendly Open Day and Working Bee.
From 9am to 3pm at the corner of Tallowood Avenue and Mahogany Street, behind the Neighbourhood Centre, visitors can celebrate the opening of the new garden, funded by a NSW Government grant.
The day promises plenty to see and do, with stalls, food and drink, live music, children’s activities, bush walks, and guided garden tours on offer.
For those keen to roll up their sleeves, there will be opportunities to join the Working Bee.
“If you prefer to get your hands dirty helping your community you can join in the working bee and do some light gardening or handyman work,” said Greg Franks, President, Hastings Residents Association Inc.
Guests are also welcome to simply relax, soak up the atmosphere, and have a chat with the gardeners who are helping to make the project thrive.
Organisers say the garden is a space for everyone; a place to learn about sustainable growing, enjoy fresh produce, and build connections with neighbours.
The event is being hosted by the Hastings Residents Association Inc.
More information is available by contacting Greg through the association’s Facebook page, emailing hra@mail.com, or calling 0434 991 156.
