Cross-border community nursery opening a huge success!
On Monday the 24th June, as the winter sun shone brightly, over 100 people passed through the new NGT Cross-border Community Nursery Site at Vansittart Park.
We have been really overwhelmed by the positive response to the new site, the project and what it aims to achieve – so thank you to everyone who has so far been a part of the project and we hope you enjoyed the opening event as much as we did!
Thanks again to our major supporters: the Australian Government, Clean Energy Future Biodiversity Fund, and the City of Mount Gambier for making it possible for us to bring this important concept to the region and at such a great, accessible community location.
