VAN Loons will offer some garden “re-leaf” next month with a weekend supporting depression charity Beyond Blue.
It’s the second time the nursery has supported Garden Releaf, and owner Heidi Martin said it raised more than $3000 last year.
“Gardening is of known benefit for people suffering depression,” she said.
“It’s good for mind and body – so we are all for it.”
The nursery will run a “super foods” workshop on 9 April, at 1.30pm, and will have live music from local acoustic duo, Double Espresso on 10 April, at noon.
“It’s a beautiful time of the year to be in the garden,” Heidi said.
