Community Vision uses WBA funds to spruce up community garden

Wanneroo Business Association held an auction fundraising dinner in June, raising $1475 for the renovations to provide therapeutic benefits for people with disabilities.

“With funding, donations and support of the community, we have been able to give the old garden a much needed new lease on life.

“We wanted to be able to give our clients an opportunity to experience gardening and develop a love of growing their own food.

“They are able to turn this into meals which they can cook in classes held at our Woodvale centre.”
