The official opening of the North Epping Community Garden was held last Friday 1 April.
Special guests included: John Alexander, MP for Bennelong, Councillor Emma Heyde from Hornsby City Council, Co- Presidents from Epping Rotary Toula Serna & Narelle Barker and Stacey Exner, Director of Educational Leadership, Gordon network, NSW DET.
Funding for the project came from a commonwealth grant, ‘Building Stronger Communities Program’, and contributions from Epping Rotary Club and Betty Ockerlander.
As the Community Director I would like to thank Michael Taylor, Assistant Principal at ENPS for his ongoing support along with the Principal Kerry-Anne Goldhagen. They welcomed the guests and talked about the project and all the people involved in making the project and the celebration possible. Thanks also to Toula and Narelle for their contribution to the afternoon and to the many Rotarians and friends of Rotary who attended.
It is hoped that the students will enjoy the Garden and the fruits of its labour.
