Discover unique local gardens By CHLOE JAENICKE

EXPERIENCE a side of Wangaratta you haven’t seen before at the Friends of Lacluta Open Gardens this weekend. Throughout the year Heather Redmond said members of Friends of Lacluta have visited Timor Leste to help support their education and health and hopes this weekend’s open garden can be a success. “We’ve had a trip over during the year...two of our members went over, and our main project has been supporting the medical centre,” she said. “In 2023 we met with them and got a priority list of things they needed because we’re really cautious not to dump unwanted Australian stuff over there.” The aim of the Friends of Lacluta Open Gardens is to showcase local sustainable gardens featuring native biodiversity all while raising money to support education in Timor Leste. “We supply vocational scholarships for people to learn a trade so they can come back to Lacluta and practise their trade and set up their own business,” Ms Redmond said.
