All We Need Now Is ...


The development of a kitchen pavillion will make HalindaGreen a showcase in the Western Sydney Region and further afield.

The Public School system of NSW can be proud of the achievements of our students to make this garden something special. They have worked with community members to build a garden in difficult circumstances. A hot and windy piece of neglected soil is becoming richer with every season. Garden beds have expanded, provided meals for community parents and citizens and continue to flourish despite limitations of resources. And all of this happened in the first year of HalindaGreen !

One significant example of limitations on resources though, is that all of our efforts have been successful despite the fact that we have NO TANKS !

[We posted about our eligibility for a tankvoucher a year or so back]

Halindagreen carers and students have had to be 'pretty resourceful' to find water enough for the green. We look forward to the day when we can judiciously water our own school garden with liquid joy from our own tanks. We are hoping that we can find a way to be a worthy NSW showcase garden with an adequate water scheme to show for the needs of our special needs students.

Sustainability is the next step !
