A pump and tap have now been fitted to the rainwater tank in the basement of the Garratt Street Centre so that we can harness this valuable resource.

Gardening Team members are very excited as it means that they can now proceed to install the irrigation system and then get on with the business of planting!

In consultation with Mona, who has developed the overall design, team members have been propagating plants since the beginning of the year. The bush fires and then the pandemic lock down prevented us from getting tasks in time for autumn planting - so now they are eager to move ahead.

Prior to the introduction of this new water source, the building had only one external tap which was not well positioned for an irrigation system.

A list of the supplies now needed to build the irrigation is now being compiled and costed. Thanks Kaye and Patrick!
