Garden grows for residents |
| 05 April 2011 |
 Media coverage - Preston Leader, 5 April 2011 From little things, big things grow is a theme East Reservoir's community garden has embraced. Last week the first sod was turned at the East Reservoir Senior Citizens Centre by workers taking part in Mission Australia's Building Links program. Urban Renewal has joined Apprenticeships Plus and Preston Reservoir Adult Community Education to employ 12 people to build the garden. Nathaniel Hall, 27, said it was a great way to fulfil his ambition to work in landscaping and excavation. "(The garden) will be good for the community (and) provide opportunities for people, especially senior citizens," Mr Hall said. Darebin Mayor Diana Asmar said the community garden was designed for residents who did not have space for a garden or vegetable patch. The garden is expected to be completed by May 6.
