“First, we all drew our plans for what way we saw the garden. Everyone had an idea for a central meeting area, and we didn’t want it to be organised. We planned on raised beds which are accessible for everyone,” said Haplin.
Throughout the eight years of being open to the public, they have hosted various events for families such as gardening workshops, concerts and ukulele festivals.
One of their main events is open day when the garden is officially opens for the summer season. In June, about 200 to 300 visitors walked through the community garden and got to learn more about the area.
The Mud Island Community Garden is open to everyone in the area and anyone can join the committee by just showing up and participating. By having members of the community join and bringing in support, the garden has flourished as an important part of this area.
