We love partnering up with local businesses and community organisations and supporting sustainable practices and outcomes. Our local partnerships include:
- Using coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable scraps from local cafes, and sawdust from local factories to feed our compost piles
- Using mulch donations from local arborists to suppress weeds
- Signage from Barry Plant to promote community events
- Donations of raffle prizes, gardening products and tools from Bunnings Warehouse Broadmeadows, and Coles Glenroy
- Grants from Merri-Bek Council and Bendigo Bank Strathmore for our Greenhouse, rainwater irrigation and bamboo support structures
- Using composted food and organic (FOGO) waste collections provided by Merri Bek Council and Veolia
- Excursions and garden tours with local primary schools and scout groups
- Donations of seedlings, produce, tools and materials to local community groups.
If you are a local business or community organisation in Glenroy and have an idea on how we can support each other, we’d love for you to get in touch
