Rotarians In Action
A call for help from the Ballarat North Neighbourhood House, via member Di Gow, resulted in some 16 members and friends conducting a garden blitz at premises in Crompton Street, Soldiers Hill.
The back garden had previously been used for a gardening and grow your own food activity at the Neighbourhood House. The area comprised raised planting boxes, paths, shrubs and potted specimens.
The conclusion of the gardening activity saw nature introducing as many feral weeds and grass species as possible to regain control of the area.
Four hours of enthusiastic work by our volunteers saw the area returned to a restful useable area freshly planted with an array of herbs, shrubs and ground covers.
This one day project was co-ordinated by the Community Service and Environmental Services committees.
