Natural garden is opened
After a series of hands-on community workshops the Woy Woy Environment Centre natural community garden was officially opened on June 6.
More than 50 people attended the event including Greens Cr Peter Freewater, Mr Richard Hughes of Equilibrium Eco-Services and bush tucker expert and musician Mr Jake Cassar.
"The demonstration garden has been created as a model compatible with low water requirements and should over the years reap many kinds of wild foods," Equilibrium Eco-Services sustainability education coordinator Ms Mia Hughes said.
"Aside from the few exotic food species of plants, the garden has endemic species which are likely to be a host for many native birds and other assorted fauna.
"Gardens are after all not just about plants."
