$8000 towards the installation of a Woody Meadow on the Burnley campus. Woody Meadows are diverse, layered plantings of shrubs, managed by coppicing to create low maintenance plantings with high visual appeal. Designed in a naturalistic style using Australian plants, Woody Meadows have a wilder aesthetic, greater biodiversity and a more varied and longer display than traditional plantings.

$9500 to provide four series of five one-hour workshops, introducing participants to cultural food growing skills, composting and green waste management, seasonal food sowing, harvest and supply chains. The target audience includes young people who are deaf, under and unemployed people living within public and social housing, migrant and refugee groups. The workshops will be accessed through established links with other providers including the Vic College of the Deaf, migrant and refugee support services and neighbourhood groups connected to the collaborative garden locations.

$4,750 to run a series of educational workshops at the market garden site, soon to be established at Bundoora. These workshops will target a range of experience levels from horticultural enthusiasts to intermediate market gardeners, both growing and servicing the needs of the community of participants. A variety of topics will introduce participants to the steps and decision-making process required to establish a garden. Tickets to these workshops will be heavily subsidised to facilitate access to as many interested people as possible.
