Thrive Community

Our Community Garden was established to foster relationships and provide a sense of belonging for our participants. It has become so much more than that, even as the colder weather sets in.

Our humble garden plots have become an intergenerational experience, empowering participants with gardening experience to teach and guide others, including our support team!

Together, we plan, learn, problem solve, and celebrate our success.

If you are interested in contributing to or joining our Tuesday program, please reach out to the Thrive Community team.

Did you know people with ADHD and bees might have something in common? 🐝

Some bees leave the hive and just… wander.
They zigzag through unfamiliar territory.
They look distracted. Unfocused. Off-task.

But they’re actually scout bees.

Their job is to find what others can’t see.
New food sources, new paths, new possibilities.

Without them, the hive stays stuck.
Without them, it doesn’t grow.

Sound familiar?

People with ADHD often wander too.
Our minds race. Our focus shifts.
We don’t always follow the expected path.
But that doesn’t mean we’re lost.

It might mean we’re wired to scout.
To explore bold ideas.
To spot patterns others miss.
To ask the hard questions.
To imagine better ways of doing things.

So many people with ADHD try and fit in.
To mask the chaos.
To shrink our edges.
To stay in line with the hive.

But what if we were never meant to blend in?

What if we were designed to stand out?
To go ahead.
To see what others can’t.
To bring something new back to the world.

Our garden is thriving! 🌞 The tomatoes are growing beautifully, and our eggplants are well on their way. It’s amazing to see all the hard work in our gardening program pay off!

Today’s sunshine made it the perfect day to be out in the garden, tending to our fresh produce and enjoying nature. 🌿🌻

Over the last few weeks, our Discovery Wednesday's group has been on some incredible adventures! We explored the beautiful coastal city of Geelong, ventured into the mind-bending world of the House Down Under in Docklands, and learned all about sustainability on an Organic Waste Tour. 🌊🏠♻️

These outings are all about discovering new places, connecting with each other, and having a blast! Stay tuned for more exciting events with Thrive Community’s Discovery Wednesdays. Where will we go next? 🤔✨
