A COLLIE community centre held a Busy Bee to help prevent crime and suicide.
A Busy Bee for participants in the Maam-Yok Young Women's crime and suicide prevention projects and the Ngalang Boodja NRM WA plant salvage project was held at the Community Garden on Wednesday, August 13.
Community Garden and Noongar community members also attended the event.
Plants that had been salvaged from Buckingham Park prior to land clearing were planted around a story telling area at the park to complement some grass trees that had been planted earlier in the week by the REPAY WA team from Bunbury Prison.
All of the plants were either salvaged from Buckingham Park before the land was cleared or grown in the Ngalang Boodja/Chappell Landscaping Training Nursery.
They included snottygobbles, honey pot dyandras, bush banksias, kangaroo paws, Australian Blue bells and swamp banksias.
The group of Collie High School girls also planted some strawberries and parsley plants provided by the Our Community Garden members in Ngalang Boodja's garden bed.
After the hard work the group were treated to a sausage sizzle, home made scones and grilled marron from the Ngalang Boodja marron farm.
