Sowing the Seeds of Wellbeing

Funded by the Department of Health and Aging through the Healthy Active Communities initiative, the Sowing the Seeds of Wellbeing program aims to encourage the growing and consumption of more fruit and vegetables among Waranga regional communities.

The program also promotes the establishment of more fruit and vegetable gardens in both communal venues and private settings, and encourages physical activity and other health-promoting activities in these rural environments.

Carly Boutcher was appointed to the Project Worker position after completing a three year degree course in Public Health at the Bendigo Campus of La Trobe University.

Carly’s position was established under a Partnering Agreement endorsed by the program participants, which include Goulburn Valley Health (Waranga Campus), Rushworth schools and Rushworth Community House. Her long list of activities will be coordinated with GVH Line Manager Michele Hanson.

You can keep up to date with Sowing the Seeds of Wellbeing school newsletters and articles published in The Waranga News by visiting the Sowing the Seeds website at sowtheseeds.spaces.live.com.

A free recipe book is now available from the front desk at Rushworth Community House.
