π± BIG NEWS, WHITE GUM VALLEY!
We are so excited to share that Nannine Common Inc has been awarded a $7,500 City of Fremantle Community Grant to deliver the White Gum Valley Edible Landscape & Wildlife Habitat Project! π
This one belongs to all of you. Thank you for being part of this community. π
π§οΈ We're starting in Makuru
In the Noongar calendar, Makuru β June and July β is the season of fertility and renewal. The rains come, the earth softens, and the land is ready to receive new growth. We couldn't have chosen a more perfect time to begin, on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja.
There is something deeply right about planting in Makuru. πΏ
Here's what we're building together:
π₯ Five raised vegetable garden beds β free for the whole community
π³ Stone fruit and nut trees β food, shade, and fodder for our Carnaby's Cockatoos
π¦ A copper bird waterer β supporting the endangered Carnaby's Cockatoo along its White Gum Valley feeding corridor
πͺ§ Community signage β handcrafted by the Gosnells Women's Shed
