HOPE Group at Poynter Markets

Well done to all planters – we have a 95% success rate and some of the plants have already doubled in size. Our Joondalup Council officer is so impressed that we have another sixty plants coming next week.

If you don’t want to weed but just want to be there, maybe bring snacks or even a ball to play on the adjacent grass.Hope Logo
