Are you looking for a âbloomingâ lovely way to spoil your mum this Motherâs Day?
Look no further than the Endeavour Foundationâs annual flower harvest, on sale now! The Foundationâs harvest is having a bumper year and 400 bunches have made their way to Central Queensland for sale in time for Motherâs Day.
For more than 30 years, Endeavour Foundation has harvested a field of dreams in Bundaberg, row upon row of flowers that grow more job opportunities for people living with disability.
After the 2020 COVID setback that hard work is again set to bloom, in the form of tens of thousands of brightly coloured chrysanthemums which are about to be picked and made into more than 7,000 beautiful bouquets just in time for Motherâs Day.
Communities and Heritage Councillor, Drew Wickerson, said this year there would be a mixture of ways people could honour Australia’s veterans.
“Last year, the community found new ways to honour those who have served, and continue to serve our country, which was fantastic to see,” Mr Wickerson said.
“The great news is not only are we able to have in person services again, but those new ways, such as RSL Queensland’s Light Up the Dawn campaign, will be back again this year.
“We understand not everyone will be able to attend Anzac events and encourage those who can’t attend to participate in Light Up the Dawn, which started last year in the midst of the pandemic and saw people lighting candles at the end of their driveways as a way to commemorate our veterans.
