An update of our growing Shed garden 🍃.
We want to thank all our succulent donator friends for these continued wonderful contributions from a variety of sources and people! We're stocked now, and the focus will be to expand our variety - making our garden as great as it can be as it really brings up the community vibes. A big shout out of thanks also to Bunnings who have donated compost bins, soil, veggie seedlings and lemon trees, etc. Alex, our neighbour, donated Cactus (of course much more).
Nurseries / businesses are welcome to contact us, as we have fun plant related workshops all year round.

On the 17th May, the Christadelphian Aged Care home hosted a Volunteer Afternoon Tea to thank us. Seen here is PVF's Mario (as brought Daisy to the home), seated next to Jeanette Healy who brings Dexter, and seated next to her is Laura Camphuis who brings Toby. Many thanks to our dog volunteers! We were also impressed by how dedicated the CAC team were.

Lastly, we had a really successful day with our Young Healthy Minds Forum to spread our vision of positive mental health. It was held at the Australian International Academy (AIA) in North Kellyville (a big thank you for us utilising their school hall). There were 140 students from 9 schools, with Matt Caruana engaging as the lived experience speaker.
We had a Q&A panel comprising Dr Tanveer Ahmed (psychiatrist), Shadi Gray (psychologist) and John Khoury (Wollemi College Student Counsellor). It was a very engaging and interactive forum where students got to hear about how to improve and sustain good mental health. The main message was it doesn’t end here; they were encouraged to use the tools they learnt to also help their families, friends and school communities.
Burn Bright facilitated the forum, and the main supporters being AIA, Hills Shire Council, The Hills Clinic, Castle Hill Rotary Club.
