The collaborative partnership between the <strong>Work</strong> <strong>Education</strong><br />
Centre and Sprout Community Garden has provided an<br />
exciting opportunity for on-site skills training. Sprout staff,<br />
including the head gardener, support the initiative. They<br />
see the mutual benefit for them as well as the students.<br />
Horticulture students utilise Sprout’s excellent and well<br />
equipped facility. Outcomes in practical horticulture skills,<br />
garden maintenance, plant care, propagation and tree care<br />
as well as team work and personal management were<br />
achieved.<br />
Students have helped prepare for the monthly community<br />
market, landscaped the BBQ area, lay concrete pavers for<br />
the tool shed and propagated seeds and plants. Students<br />
have enthusiastically explored the many and varied aspects<br />
of sustainable gardening practice.<br />
