‘The best and cheapest food is that which you grow in your own patch of dirt’ - Lolo Houbein. With rising food prices, concerns about food security and a push towards a more sustainable future, there has never been a better time to start growing your own food. Who better to instil this belief in than the future custodians of this planet, our children. WAX Design has been working in a volunteer capacity with Marryatville Primary School for the past eighteen months to produce a landscape master plan. The master plan aims to enhance amenity, aesthetic pleasure, and play value and teach the concept of sustainability.
Works undertaken so far include, the construction of the productive garden in collaboration with GRUBS, the school’s volunteers committee and the creation of the butterfly garden surrounding several class rooms, which is currently being planted out by the children.
WAX would like to acknowledge and thank Yates and Heynes Nursery for their support and generous donations.
