Local residents built two compatible gardens from scratch: one to promote food production and recycling; and the other to encourage people to rest and recharge in a peaceful setting with larger fruit trees and vegetables, as well as flowering plants and shrubs.
CLRA cleared the land, planned and installed infrastructure like paths, reticulation, seats and artwork. The CLRA also maintain a wide variety of edible and ornamental species of plants.
- Organised and coordinated a series of hands-on environmental activities by engaging volunteers, planning community participation opportunities and identifying practical projects that could directly support local environmental care and restoration
- Worked collaboratively with community members and local groups to deliver on-ground activities such as planting, clean-up and conservation initiatives, using shared resources, volunteer time and local knowledge to maximise impact
- Created accessible opportunities for people to get involved by promoting events, encouraging participation across different age groups and providing simple, practical ways for residents to contribute to caring for local natural areas
- Built ongoing community momentum by regularly facilitating environmental activities, strengthening local partnerships and using community-led action to support long-term sustainability, biodiversity protection and stewardship of local spaces
