ON Wednesday evening last week at the Southern Grampians Shire Council meeting, members enthusiastically endorsed and adopted the final Children’s Garden and Community Precinct Design for the Hamilton Botanic Gardens.

The preparation of the design, specialist advice and supporting documentation, was funded by the grant of $86,000 from the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP) under the ‘Growing Victoria’s Botanical Gardens Grant Program’ (GVBG) in February 2019 with Council contributing $10,000 and in-kind support.
