The team at Iramoo Community Centre is putting out a call out for people to come and volunteer at the community garden.
Community engagement support officer Emily Rogan said the centre isn’t looking for green thumbs, just anyone with a good heart.
“The garden has been there for quite some time, but it has never been utilised to its full potential,” Mr Rogan said.
“So my aim is to link in with local businesses who can offer some support in terms of donations and support.
“We just received a $1500 grant from the Manor Lakes community fund that will go towards soil and seedlings, so that will give us a real boost to get it stated.”
Currently, there are four regular volunteers. Ms Rogan said she is also looking for someone to come and fill a coordinator role to manage the garden.
“Then we would like to get a team of volunteers on board to grow food, veggies, herbs, so we can donate it all to community members in need or are doing it tough.
“Just anyone that has a bit of time to spare and wants to enjoy the sunshine– you don’t have to be a green thumb.”
The garden is operational and open to volunteers Monday to Friday 8.30am-3.30pm, and is accessible for all.
Ms Rogan said the garden at Iramoo also has one of the best disability accesses in the Wyndham area.
“It is fully accessible so we can accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, there are also raised garden beds.”
