The Smart Street Town Team is a group focused on bringing vibrancy to the Smart Street Mall.
The town team spent a few hours planting edibles, natives, succulents and perennials for colour and vibrancy in the planter boxes on the Mall. Plants were donated by members of the Mandurah Garden Club and Mandurah Community Gardens and Bunnings Mandurah. @Soils Aint Soils Mandurah donated the soil improver.
The Smart Street Town Team brought new colour and care to the Smart Street Mall by refreshing planter boxes with edibles, natives, succulents and perennials.

- Gathered donated plants from Mandurah Garden Club, Mandurah Community Gardens and Bunnings Mandurah.
- Received donated soil improver from Soils Aint Soils Mandurah to help support healthy plant growth.
