Hope…It Grows! Project Worker

St Matthew’s is gaining a small community garden, and after a long haul, we have a Project Worker, Susie Scott.

Susie has spent many years living in Bendigo. She has a background in fine art and community gardens. Susie has spent time working in Indigenous communities, with Karen refugees, and with youth in Bendigo. She is inspired by traditional agriculture and living simply, and finds enjoyment in walking, gardening, and working in the area of community development.

Susie would love you to be part of designing and creating the garden. You can be involved in many different ways, including gardening, seed growing and artwork.

The Hope…It Grows! garden is open:

  • Tuesdays: 9am – 5pm
  • Fridays: 9am-5pm
