THE Mapleton State School Community Garden has been transformed with irrigation, power, and is ready for the community’s involvement!
This joint venture between students, teachers, parents, and residents aims to provide fresh produce and a positive experience for all.
The garden has new chicks, a revamped coop, and freshly slashed areas ready for planting. Early spring crops like beans, basil, and spinach are already growing!
The final hurdle is building a carport over the compost bins for shade and rainwater collection.
The Mapleton Men’s Shed can help construct it, but the school need someone with a builder’s license to oversee and sign off on the project.
If you’d like to get involved in the garden, simply sign up with the P&C subcommittee. Contact mapletonpandc@gmail.com or 0435 593 484
