Fusion Youth Haven Horticultural

A project of Fusion Australia Ltd, an interchurch agency which works among disadvantaged people in centres in Australia and overseas. Most of their volunteers come from various Anglican and Uniting Churches in the Woden Weston Creek area.

Youth Haven Horticulture comprises about 2.2 hectares of vegetable growing beds. For 15 years it has provided creative and satisfying activity for up to 25 disadvantaged people at any one time, such as long term out of work, brain damaged, mentally disturbed, and refugees. The activities and "therapy" of growing vegetables has developed confidence and self-esteem that has kept these "at risk" people on an even keel. A new initiative has been the training of Burmese refugee migrants in cool climate market gardening.
