You will have access to the Community Gardens, which allows you access to communal tools if required.
You will be able to help out with planting and weeding, keeping paths clear around the five Red Cross plots.
As the coordinator of the Community Gardens we ask that you can prepare a simple report and email to the secretary and treasurer (if purchases have been made at Bunnings) of Red Cross
