THE community and sensory garden at Bridgewater’s old railway station will soon be engaging local students growing their knowledge of risks to the land by weather and drought.
Paths for the sensory garden and landscaping for the Kooyoora Woman’s Network project were completed last week.
“The work will link our community garden to the sensory garden and strengthen the experience and understanding for students,” said network president Colleen Condliffe.
“From next term, students at the local primary school will be able to walk out of the classroom and into our gardens that aim to stimulate a change in awareness of and attitudes to drought preparedness. We have been fortunate to receive funding from the Foundation for Rural Regional Renewal to make this engaging project a reality.”
Colleen said the gardens were part of continued development and community use of the railway station precinct.
“Our community hub is connecting people around town."
