RESIDENTS, volunteers and staff were on deck at Inglewood and Districts Health Service last Friday preparing beds for the new community garden.
Soil and mulch were shovelled into more than six beds outside the Hospital Street campus ahead of planting seedlings and vegetables.
The working bee brought volunteers together from Inglewood and Wedderburn, joined by Loddon Shire and Loddon Plains Landcare Network staff and St Mary’s school students.
Inglewood and Districts Health Service CEO Dallas Coghill said the community garden project was already bring benefited for the wellbeing of residents. “Some of our residents are already active in the Inglewood-Bridgewater Men’s Shed and it was great to see them again sharing skills helping to create our community garden,” he said.
“It is our residents and the community who are a great part of the inspiration and drive for the garden. Our staff are also enthusiastic. The partnerships with local groups and people who want to be involved in support Inglewood and Districts Health Service are another positive from the project.”
IDHS has more community working bees planned.
