Mercy Project finished at last.
Posted by Alan Singleton on
The biggest job undertaken to date is finally finished. It included fourteen double height Jumbos (3 X 1.1 metres), seven with canopy/trellis plus some earth works and edging on existing gardens. Looks a treat. If you are in Toowoomba have a look: on South Street heading east just past the MacKenzie round-about. You can see them from the road. Some pics:

In the middle of one of the larger jobs I have undertaken, installing fourteen double height Jumbos with canopy/trellis on seven.

Having them level is important given they have a water reservoir. These are community gardens sponsored by Mercy Community Services Cultural Diversity Hub.

This would have to be THE best Air BNB place we have stayed in and we have been to Italy & other parts in Europe, but Alan's place is the best. This is a real BNB (Bed n Breakfast), breakfast was provided and mostly home made bread...
Miles State School gets into gardening

Here's some of the sixteen large double height Watersaver Gardens destined for Miles. One for each class, could be a competition there. They will be able to learn about composting, gardening and cooking which is great for kids at school (beats maths).
