OVERWHELMED BY ALL THE SUPPORT

During this election campaign I have been overwhelmed by the support I have been given by so many people. Friends have organised to prepare dinner for me, knowing that it had to be gluten free so that I could continue a crazy schedule of meetings with residents to hear their hopes for the future of Springfield Ward.

And so many people have approached me to tell me that I have their vote and that they are already aware of what I have been doing for the community. This has been enormously empowering and uplifting especially when the weather has been rather inclement.

Throughout the Ward  I have engaged with so many interesting people and have enjoyed viewing the gorgeous gardens alive with Spring colour. I love making handmade greeting cards featuring photographs of the flowers in my garden or blooms from the parks throughout our suburb.

Last month, some of you may have listened to Wes Fleming on 3AW, during the gardening segment when it was noted that town planners should not forget the importance of gardens and backyards. Wes quoted statistics that revealed that where there were good gardens (city owned) and better private property gardens there were not the health problems that big unit developments experience. And so here is a little gift to you of some of my garden photos for your your enjoyment and good health!
