Students Converge On Harden Murrumburrah Community Garden

Local students visited the Harden Murrumburrah Community Garden at the beginning of the week.

Spokesperson for the garden, Rita O’Connor said they had been expecting over 200 children joining them for a series of activities over Monday and Tuesday.

“Well, we couldn’t have all the groups because of the rain this morning, but years 1 and 5 came,” Ms O’Connor said.

“They had a ball.”

The activities included across the two days included making succulent pots, dream catchers, and beaded circles around trees before putting out mulch.

“We rotated them through the number of activities,” Ms O’Connor said.

“Other people who came to help included Karen and Stephen Woodhead, De Farrell, Fay Valerius and Mal MacDonald.”

“Mal cut lots of lengths of wood for the chimes. TOS Bickford, Cathay Sanderson and De Farrell brought heaps of beads for the wind chimes and to hang around the bee house poles. De also brought the succulent pieces and a large bird cage that the children hung the wind chimes from.”

Everyone was flat out, but they all enjoyed their time in the garden.
