Every community is different, and our programs reflect that. Unlike programs that build infrastructure and move on, EON stays connected, providing ongoing support to keep gardens thriving and programs sustainable.
In the Kimberley community of Looma, the edible garden has been community-run for 15 years since completing EON’s Thriving Communities Program. Our WA Operations Manager visits each term and provides phone support, but it’s the community that keeps things growing.
Local man, Danny, plays a key role in looking after the garden – and produce is shared widely amongst the community, including with Looma’s Aged Care facility. On the last EON visit, the community cooked up healthy burgers in the garden and hot weather crops were planted.
A perfect example of how EON’s model creates lasting, community-led change.
