McDougall Farm Community Garden remains committed to its vision of creating a supportive gardening environment where people of all ages and ethnicity can enjoy connecting together through gardening. One of the most enjoyable examples of this is when parents have a way to connect with their children, side by side, learning together and creating something special with their very own hands.
On the Garden's first Busy Bee for Spring 2015 Cayley and her Mum Mel planted a gorgeous little strawberry bush in a repurposed wheelbarrow. It has now been given a second lease on life. With a little bit of direction from Mum and some helpful tips from the other volunteers Kay and Bob, Cayley took charge in preparing space by digging out some soil before planting the strawberry bush.
Volunteers are eager to see it bare its first fruit. Under the careful attention of our experienced gardening volunteers and regular watering by Cayley and her Mum, we are confident they'll be super tasty.
