Brighton Community Garden receives State grant for security fence in Butler

THE Brighton Community Garden Education and Resource Centre has received funding to upgrade security fencing.

The garden received a $10,000 grant from the Department of Communities for fencing that will help protect the community garden from vandalism.

President Bernard Terry, who received a City of Wanneroo Australia Day award, said the garden was an important community resource.

Mr Terry said many gardeners and volunteers worked tirelessly to make the garden a valuable asset for the wider community.

The garden gives families opportunities to get involved in outdoor activities, meet other people and learn about organic, environmental sustainable garden practices.

It is open to all residents in the City and new members are welcome,
