The sod has been turned, the official speeches made, the celebratory cake cut and consumed.
Now the hard work begins.
Terrigal Community Garden members will build their garden from scratch.
The garden was officially opened earlier this month with both Federal Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid and State Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch on hand to turn the first sod.
It took three years of planning and searching before the garden found a place to call home.
The garden will grow at the rear of the 50 Plus Centre on the corner of Duffy’s Rd and Terrigal Dr.
The 1,000sqm site is under licence from Central Coast Council.
Community Garden President Marianne Hamilton said volunteers were needed to build the beds and transfer bags of soil to help the dream come alive.
She said potential volunteers were warmly invited to a meeting this Friday, June 6, at the Terrigal Marine Discovery Centre at 11am.
The above photo says it all ..ahah
I have often wondered why the central coast didn’t have an official community garden. it is so exciting to know it is coming to fruition. I look forward to seeing the garden on Gardening Australia!
great job Marianne, your a legend đź‘Ź
