Retirement and aged care complex, Regis Inala Village, has officially launched its community vegetable garden.
The new garden is an important feature of the Inala Village community providing residents of both the retirement village and aged care homes with the opportunity to not only enjoy the company of likeminded gardeners but to also enjoy the fruits of their labour.
"Community gardens have become rare over the past decade but are important in not only keeping senior's active and providing important interaction but they also provide access to freshly grown produce at little or no cost," Regis Inala Village commercial business manager, Edzard Batenburg says.
Residents from the independent living units along with Inala Village's gardener operate the main vegetable garden whilst special high planter boxes have been placed around the complex for less mobile residents of Inala Village's three aged care homes.
Bunnings Box Hill, a supporter of many community projects, donated not only materials but also the time of its staff members to assist in getting this project up and running.
