22.01.2022 We are *so* excited to be re-launching our Buds intergenerational gardening program in Darebin! Yesterday our Garden Helpers Minna, Dom, Temby and Marco were stoked to meet up for the first time in-person to complete their training! We couldn't be more pleased for this capable, skilled and motivated team. Run in partnership with Darebin Council, Buds offers older people in the district a chance to share their gardening knowledge and experience with our young Helpers while getting a hand to keep on top of gardening work they need done. Know someone who's keen for some gardening help? >> www.lively.org.au/buds
