The students from Lawrence Hargraves School checked the pH of their ‘organic’ soil mix & realised that it wasn’t so organic after all - we added a nice mix of manure & compost & look forward to a bumper crop over the summer 🌽🍅🫑🥕🥒🌶️ #youthcommunitygreening

We are so proud of this Wattle Superstart who attended @GeorgesRiverEEC and led a session on the Ajuga Rain Garden to numerous other students from other schools.He was confident, assured and demonstrated his knowledge of the project.
