16/08/2019 – Campbelltown Community Garden Donation

Here at Direct, we love to help bring a community together, and what better way to do so then to help The Campbelltown Community Garden in donating some pallets and pallet collars for some raised garden beds!

Community gardens are part of a growing preference in Australia for locally-grown foods, and can be established on land owned by local government, schools and churches, and in public housing estates. They include shared gardens in which all gardeners do the work and take a share of what they grow; an allotment garden in which gardeners have their own garden plot; or a combination of the two.

Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr George Brticevic, said council had committed to assisting residents reduce their environmental footprint, and to creating a healthy and connected community, as part of its Sustainability Strategy.

“Community gardens play an important role in reducing the carbon footprint of people who are only eating locally grown produce, and encouraging physical, social and mental well-being, in addition to keeping more money in the hip pocket,” he said
