Quota International of Whitsunday Inc is about to launch another ambitious community project, this time in collaboration with Conservation Volunteers Australia.
The new “care and share garden project” is currently in a developmental phase, but the seed germinating among members of the two organisations is sure to grow nothing but success.
While a venue for the garden has yet to be determined, the project will be targeting at-risk and vulnerable youth, with plans to incorporate native, bush tucker and edible gardens into the overall result.
Regional manager for Conservation Volunteers Australia Caitlin Davies said she was very much looking forward to seeing the project progress.
“We’re fairly new to the region so we’re really excited to become a part of the community,” Ms Davies said.
Quota Whitsunday President Kerrie McCallum-Coles said this promises to be a true community project, for the community, by the community.
“This project will bring together individuals, organisations and local businesses who care for the environment, care for their community and care enough about the Whitsunday region to share their skills and knowledge, share their time to help others and ultimately share what they create with everyone,” Ms Mcallum-Coles said.
The project will require the donation of materials including soils, mulches, plants and tools. For more information or to become involved, contact Kerrie McCallum-Coles on 0409 222 548.
