From the Brookton Community Garden - Compost Edition 💩 🪱👩‍🌾 🌱

It's been a big week for the Brookton Community Garden and our partnership with the local school. We love seeing lots of different people and businesses in town working together and donating their time and resources to help our school.

Thanks to a Coles grant focused on sustainable gardening practices, the school is working on multiple projects. A mini orchard, transforming the garden beds in the ECE area into wicking beds and a school-wide composting system. The composting project was kicked off this week with two Permaculture West workshops (funded by The Waste Authority via a community education grant) hosted by Tanvier and our own local Tamara de Lange. Each classroom will receive a Bokasi bucket for their crunch and sip compost and the highschoolers are going to be taught and supported so that they can maintain the compost piles. Classrooms had buckets previously but it wasn't implemented in a sustainable way so the school is open to trying again.

A big thank you to BRT for the donation of the pallets and all the support when making multiple BRT runs for supplies. Thank you also to Warranine Park for the star pickets and South Dale Stud for letting us borrow what we needed to drive in the posts. Thank you to Hay Australia for the hay and straw donated for this project as well as the ongoing donations to the garden compost. A special thank you to the school gardener Paul and his wife Lynda. They donated their time and expertise towards helping this project become even more sustainable and the donations of horse manure and hay for both the garden and the school compost are invaluable. Thank you Nola's Roadhouse and the Brookton Tyre shop for your abundant coffee grounds. And to the school, the P&C committee, the canteen, the admin, teachers and staff are all a part of supporting, cheering on and making this an amazing sustainable project for the students and for our community.

At the community garden our compost piles are also happy and growing thanks to donations and the work of Dudley Eastell at Roadsafe Training WA who uses the garden to teach loader skills. Once again, another fabulous example of working together in a way that benefits us all.

Keep your eyes open for more exciting things happening at our school and the Brookton Community Garden looks forward to continuing to partner in ways that help us all grow 💚

Representing our Brookton Community Garden well today. Keep it up!

Today, Ryan Reiter and I had the pleasure of taking Ben, Curtis, and Marliese to Optus Stadium for the Tidy Towns Awards.

Although we didn’t win our category—the competition was extremely tough—the students were incredibly proud to be finalists and to have their hard work at the community garden recognised.

They showed great resilience in speaking with new people and demonstrated outstanding respect throughout the day. They truly made us proud in the way they represented Brookton DHS.
