Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (14:23): I would also like to commend the finalists of the ResourceSmart Schools Awards. The Friends of Port Melbourne Primary School garden group, comprising 18 members, combines horticultural expertise with a passion for learning. Renowned for their resourcefulness, the group builds gardens using recycled and donated materials and hosts the Wednesday garden club. The team created a memorial garden and a sensory garden and contributed to the Melbourne pollinator corridor initiative. The Wednesday garden club offers students hands-on experience in planting and maintaining green spaces, fostering connections with local diversity and community action.
