Planting Seeds & Smiles At Lower Burdekin Landcare Association

Earlier this May, curiosity and creativity were in full bloom as students, teachers, and parents from Home Hill Primary School crossed the river for a special excursion to the Lower Burdekin Landcare Association Inc.

The visit was part of the school’s exciting new sensory garden project - an initiative designed to engage students’ senses through nature. To help bring their garden to life, the students were invited to explore and handpick plants they’d love to see grow, and Lower Burdekin Landcare members were beyond delighted with the student’s choices.

“What a selection they made!” shared proud members of the Lower Burdekin Landcare team.

“They chose plants that they could see, taste, smell and hear – well done kids!”

With the warm guidance of Landcare’s wonderful volunteers, the children also got their hands dirty planting a variety of flower and veggie seeds to take back to school, ready to nurture, water, and watch grow.

“Thank you so much for visiting Landcare today, we loved having you here!”
