Clients of Wyndham’s only respite centre have a new backyard to explore, thanks to the generosity and hard work of Laverton-Point Cook Rotary.
The group spent weeks making over the garden at Basecamp 3030, transforming it from a vast, empty space, to a colorful garden with seating areas and play spaces.
The new garden also includes a trampoline, a swing set and a pergola offering clients much-needed shade.
Basecamp 3030 provides respite care for people with disabilities.
Co-ordinator Sue Wild said the revamped space would make a difference to people visiting the house over summer.
“Kids in particular will have somewhere to enjoy themselves and relax,” she said. “The clients love the garden and can’t wait to use it.”
Rotarian Chris Woods said the club, along with Masters and Grevillea Nursery, had jumped at the chance to help Basecamp 3030.
“It gives you a nice feeling when you see something like this completed,” he said.
