Eat My Garden is excited to be having a community planter at Point Cook Popup Park 30 January to 28 April 2019. Thanks to Werribee Men’s Shed, Heryany Wongso and John Marks we have been able to decorate the planter and make it interactive.
The Eat My Garden planter has activity panels using some recycled materials and a chalk board for kids. Please come and have fun with it! While it is a great opportunity for local kids to experience the art and try something new, we would ask that parents supervise their children so the display is used by as many children as possible.
The Point Cook Pop -Up Park is a great community initiative
entering its second year. Eat My Garden thanks to the Popup Park Team and the Third Life for the opportunity to have the planter at the popup park.
