June 25, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

A team of volunteers turned up on Saturday to help give Kingaroy’s Community Garden<\/strong> in Pound Street a much-needed makeover and find out more information about forming a new group to guide the future direction of the project.<\/p>\n

Council officer Kerry Oldfield<\/strong>, who is co-ordinating the Healthy Communities Initiative, organised the open day and working bee in conjunction with RHealth and the Burnett Inland Economic Development Organisation (BIEDO).<\/p>\n

The volunteers turned over the soil, weeded the long beds, planted seedlings (mostly vegetables), spread fertilizer and laid mulch.<\/p>\n

Kerry said she was a bit worried when the morning turned out to be so cold, but the turnout was “really, really good”.<\/p>\n

Prue Lang<\/strong>, from BIEDO, helped some of the younger volunteers make paper cups in which to plant out the seedlings.<\/p>\n

Prue, who is BIEDO’s regional garden co-ordinator, said the group hoped to help build interest in the garden so it could be maintained into the future.<\/p>\n

There was also an opportunity to try some healthy recipes, prepared by RHealth as part of a Grow Cook Eat workshop.<\/p>\n

Kerry said the next meeting of the volunteers would be held towards the end of next month.<\/p>\n

This would be another working bee but those attending would also be asked to determine in what direction they would like the project to proceed.<\/p>\n
