👩‍🌾The Youth and headspace Ocean Grove team have been hard at work at the Ocean Grove site cleaning up the outside garden area which has become overgrown with weeds recently.
The team are getting the garden up and running again planting sunflowers, edible plants and possibly a sensory area for herbs that can be touched, tasted and smelt.
Great work team – it’s wonderful to see this great space reactivated.
💚👨‍🌾

🏉This weekend's AFL Grand Final between Brisbane and Geelong is going to be epic!
Whether you're cheering from the stands or your couch, remember that getting outside and moving your body can be just as exciting for your mental health as watching your team score!
Physical activity releases those feel-good endorphins, reduces stress, and being outdoors boosts your mood naturally. So grab some mates, kick a footy around, or go for a walk before settling in to watch the big game.
Good luck to both the Brisbane Lions and Geelong Cats - may the best team win! 🦁😺
