🌱 Today marks the completion of our Bushfire Resilient Gardens Project which has been 12 months in the making.

A key part of the project was to capture the thoughts and experiences of people who were impacted by the black summer bushfires and how this project has helped them to recover both their physical and mental wellbeing.

🙏 We are very proud of what has been accomplished and want to thank the participants, the video production crew, Jack Thieme, Ronald Woods, Jo and Rob Willis from Woodside Plants and Gardens.
