DO YOU THINK IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A GARDEN? 🪏 🌱🍃🪴 Spreading all that fantastic mulch (thanks Steve Jones Hardware & Landscape), after clearing all the weeds has just added to what is now looking like a nature garden down on the Brook. What do you think? Thanks to our great Bushcare family for another wonderful day to help our babies thrive! See you next month!

KHAKI ARMY DO IT AGAIN 🌳💪: Popcorn 🐶 and Button 🐶 supervised our Gilbert Road Bushcare army today who successfully cleared the elephant grass and mass planted 🌱 another big section along the Brook to the east of the Jean St drain. About 200 natives will now grow and our previous plantings are taking off with great success. 🎉 We also worked hard clearing weeds from other sections. Thank you to our loyal team and we look forward lot seeing you at our next bee 🐝 on 23 August! 🌳🫶🏼
