NEWS FLASH

Our Edible Bush Tucker Garden Project - Out of the 538 schools across Australia that received funding for Woolworths Junior Landcare grants, we were amongst the two in WA selected to write case studies about.  Some of our bush tucker tucker plants will be ready to harvest in Spring.

Here is the email and link to our project.

We wanted to let you know that we’ve created a case study about the fantastic outcomes of your school’s Indigenous Edible Bush Tucker Garden project that was funded by the Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant you received in late 2018.

The case study is on our junior Landcare website at:   https://juniorlandcare.org.au/case_studies/indigenous-bush-tucker/

At the very bottom of the case study you will see:  

We hope you and your school community will click on the “heart” to like your case study. Plus, we encourage you to share this achievement via your school’s Facebook page and if you have Twitter as well.  Just click on the icon and share.  In your comment, can you please tag @Woolworths and @LandcareAustralia.          

Best regards,

Our recycling programs near the front office will recommence in Term 3

Please continue to bring in:

• Batteries
• Dental hygiene packaging including toothbrushes
• Coffee pods (make sure they are DRY)
• Ring pulls from cans of drink (collection point is in the library)
• Plastic bottle tops (leave on the Grow Free Cart)

Remember that our Grow Free Cart is set up near the office.

"How does the cart work?" We have a simple answer: you give what you can, and take what you need. There are no prices, no bartering, no trading, no value. Like you would to family and loved ones.

What can I put on the carts?       

Homegrown or homemade produce: fruit, veg, herbs, preserves, eggs, etc. 

Preferably grown with organic principles, without toxins. Seeds, seedlings, cuttings and rootstock (Please label all, and heirloom seeds are best)

All things gardening, whether it be gardening magazines, planters,  worm tea, etc . Jars , paper bags and small boxes for seeds or produce.

Happy gardening and recycling,

Sandra & Stacey – Sustainability Coordinators
