Developing green thumbs is not just about fun

www.inmycommunity.com; For Brightwater Oats Streets aquired brain injury rehabilitation centre clients - it's about recovery.

The Garden Gurus' garden, which is part of the Victoria Park community garden at Read Park, operates as part of the therapy program. The program has been so successful the gurus have been able to donate some seedlings to pot and use as decoration for a fundraising event on Thursday.

Each menber of the group has a task, which they carry out on their allocated day of the week. Planning involves what plants to sow and projects to control bugs, all skills that contribute to their longer term rehabilitation.

It's a positive reenforcement for rehabilitation and it feels good.
