The Passage Street Community in Cleveland came together for a day of garden revamping in late March.

Tenants gathered around mid-morning to start the process of removing a top layer of mulch, old plants and weeds from an area of garden beds alongside the development where they live. Community Housing Ltd gardening contractors Aruma, who were coincidently onsite that day, helped with a fair amount of the heavy lifting, trimming and spreading new grass seed in another area of the garden.

After a break for a lunch BBQ, it was all hands on deck to spread lots of new soil and plant a range of bromeliads, succulents, herbs and a pallet of potted colour thanks to the generosity of three local Bunnings stores.

Queensland Community Development Manager Connie Crookshanks said, “This was a really great experience for everyone involved. It was lovely for our tenants to welcome the teams from Bunnings onto the site and to create the new garden with their help. The Community is already planning phase two – so watch this space!”.

Everyone had a great day and appreciated the many plants (and Bunnings hats) the Bunnings Teams brought on the day. Huge well done to the Passage Street Community and thanks to Bunnings and Aruma.
