Children's day at community garden

The Peninsula Community Garden will hold its third children's activity day on Thursday, July 11.

The day will include activities such as painting prayer flags, making scarecrows and flattening metal spoons to use as planter markers in the garden.

Children will also help paint a small fence and create origami paper craft.

Garden coordinator Ms Jill Meredith predicted that the event would be as successful as the children's day events held earlier this year, in which children painted a mural on the garden shed and helped lay bricks for the herb circle.

"We expect that this day will be a great success, as the last ones we had approximately 50 to 80 children and parents who all had a great time painting, catching up with friends and exploring and discovering things in our community garden," Ms Meredith said.

Activities will commence at 9am until lunch time and all children must be accompanied by a parent.

The garden is located at 85-87 Moana St Woy Woy.
