Natural garden project launched

Woy Woy South Public School will launch its Natural Community Garden project on Wednesday, August 20.

The project will involve the local community with gardening workshops for local residents at the Woy Woy Environment Centre and the school

Project coordinator Mr Steve Collins said the school will establish a bushtucker, native plant, fruit and vegetable garden on school grounds that will eventually use little or no water.

"Teachers, parents, grandparents and local residents will be invited to attend and share their environmental knowledge with students," Mr Collins said.

"The project is a collaborative effort between the school's teachers and students, Equilibrium Eco-Services, Peninsula Environment Group and local community groups."
