Through the grant, Hub Community Projects Inala received a total of $2,485.55 grant in November 2022, which will be used to develop and maintain their community garden.
Councillor for Forest Lake Ward Charles Strunk said this is great news for the many local families who source food from the gardens and volunteers who dedicate their time to reduce carbon footprint.
Run by the group’s amazing and dedicated volunteers, the community garden is home to a range of vegetables, herbs, succulents, and even hard to find plants like choko, luffa gourd and Egyptian spinach.
Hub Community Projects’ community garden can be found at the group’s Neighbourhood Centre, at 79 Poinsettia Street, Inala.
