THE Glass House Community Hall committee is starting a community garden with eight garden beds full of vegetables and herbs.
Community group, GMAN, is also building a green house next to the garden beds, acting as a home for the environmentally conscious group.
A graffiti wall will also be put in for young people to paint on, expressing their creativity in a community
space.
Groups including Barung Landcare, GMAN, and Early Learning are helping bring this project together, as
well as Bassett Barks, who donated mulch.
Glass House Community Hall committee member, Lisa, said it will be a great addition to the town’s
assets.
“We are still confirming whether people can rent the garden beds out a year at a time to grow what they need,” she said.
“The alternative would be the Hall committee looking after all the garden beds, and allowing the community to access the fresh goods from the garden beds.”
So far volunteers have mulched the trees in the park next to the Hall and out the back, which is stage one of the project.
They now will work on finalising design plans, putting in the garden beds and erecting GMAN’s green
house.
The Hall committee is hoping to have it all finished at the end of the year, in time for the community Christmas party on December 14.
