We are extremely excited to be able to work with the local community and school on a project to create a native garden at the Eyre Business Centre. Thanks to Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board for supporting this project through its Grassroots Grant program, made possible by the regional landscape levy.
The support from the Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board will allow us to begin creating a unique educational green space in the centre of Kimba for the community, students and visitors.
“We are really looking forward to transforming our gravel and dull yard into a gorgeous green space for the community and visitors to learn and enjoy in Kimba,” says Centre Director, Kathleen Tierney.
“With planned new shade, seating and educational sessions, we hope to attract locals and visitors to enjoy and learn about the many benefits of water-wise gardening in a semi-arid environment.
“We will also partner with Kimba Area School, to expand their “Save the Chalky Wattle from extinction” program, making it accessible to the entire community.”
Located at the Eyre Business Centre, the garden will showcase the Chalky Wattle and other local native plant species, providing information and education about the numerous benefits of growing natives.
