Snowy Valleys, NSW encourages healthy living among residents with Community Grow Project

Snowy Valleys, NSW Community Grow Project

Complete

Council staffers built wicking beds for community gardens in Richmond Park and the Tumbarumba Creek Scape. The construction of these beds was recorded for an instructional video on home gardening. Snowy Valleys residents entered into a drawing for free compostable soil or rock aggregate from a local landscaping contractor. The instructional videos and free materials allowed participants to grow vegetables during the council's Healthy Town Challenge.
