GEORGE NEWS - The George Municipality s Food Garden Project, which was revived at the end of last year, is off to a good start with over 250 gardens identified since the project s revitalisation in November last year.
Acting Deputy Director Strategic Services Joan Shaw said the coordinators connected with previous participants of the programme. News of the revived project started spreading and we expect to have at least 265 gardens established in this planting season. We are confident that numbers will grow as the project gathers momentum. We believe the Food Gardens Project can become a life-changing beacon of hope, she said.
