Growing The Burnett’s training area at Memerambi is getting a makeover courtesy of a couple of school holidays volunteers.
Luke Horton, from Kingaroy, and his cousin Lillianna Woodbridge, from Caboolture, have been painting a mural on the side of a building which formerly was coated in red dust.
Project manager Brian Jarvis said the theme of the artwork would be “unity, the environment and growing food”.
Luke is the son of Bruce Horton, from Burnett Beekeeping Supplies, who has been helping with the horticulture project.
Growing The Burnett aims to expand food production options for South Burnett farmers, as well as fresh food choices for local consumers.
Volunteers and trainees have planted an area out to vegetables and installed an irrigation system.
