Residents joined the Butler Walking Group at the Brighton Community Garden on May 27 for their Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser.
Garden committee chairwoman Catherine Keet said about 20 people went on a walk before returning for the tea, and they raised $136.55 through gold coin donations.
‘It was a really nice way of tying a number of things together, the walking group and the Cancer Council cause,’ she said.
‘We aim to the put ‘community’ into the Brighton Community Garden by making this space open and accessible to the wider community for their enjoyment in the beautiful open space that it is.’
