Reefy made a start at planting the edible garden at Bowen Skill Builders today 😍. We foot the cost of the materials, NDIS covers the support and Reefy provides the 💪 🙌
Each week he will get $50 to spend buying his seedlings of choice, then he plants them with Chrissy’s support. We hope to have friends join him for a regular garden club once BSB get started.

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since we’ve posted because Reef hasn’t had much opportunity to garden lately… but just sharing memory that popped up from 3 years ago. This was the first time we realised Reef likes gardening 🥰.

Apart from our wonderful support T, who kicked off his gardening adventures in Bowen, we haven’t been able to find any support workers willing or able to help progress his adventures. Although, we have been gardening at home.

We hope to progress his skill with the right supports, and hope this changes soon, with the addition of the Community Gardens in Bowen 🤩

If anyone knows of any other community space that does gardening, we’d love to hear from you 🪴👨‍🌾

We lost our beautiful T who would help Reef with his planting project, so we’ve been quiet on here while we patiently wait for someone to continue her work, but this morning Reef planted a tree at Bowen Community Garden. What a special project, I’m sure he will like returning here with his supports in the future

Happy Chappy getting his hands dirty today 🌱. Lots of Alocasia babies kicked out of mummas pot today.

Reefy did some gardening yesterday with T. He painted his pots and planted his flowers in both pots without any help other then removing them from from the pots (they were very root bound).
Now his pots are home, his job is to keep watering them 🙂
Tiarne is in her final weeks supporting Reef, and I’m on the lookout for a support worker who can help him with gardening and his business. Big shoes to fill 😎
I’m procrastinating hardcore 😔

Reef and Tiarne are back together for the next 3 days, with wheels! T’s car is fixed now 😍. Thankyou to those who reached out to help Reef with cuttings, especially those lovely ones who dropped them to us. This heat makes it tough for Reef to get motivated in the garden… so we just work with how he’s going. We want to keep it fun without making it a ‘job’ or he will lose his spark for it. I’ll touch base soon to arrange collection for those who are still waiting for us. Thanks for your patience 🙂

Reef’s Old Man’s Beards.
Although he can’t twist the wire, he is able to forage for driftwood, separate the plant and staple the beard on. He looks pretty chuffed with himself. Progress pic of him making them in comments below

Hi everyone. Reef didn’t have the best of days today, it was far too hot and muggy for him… but, we did receive these sick plants to triage and nurse back to health. I’m not sure what we will do with these babies, but they are looking healthier with a drink of water under the shade of our mango tree. Thanks Sam and Tiarne, we’ll update on their progress in a few months, hopefully they make it 🤩

Sneak peak at what Reefy’s going to be working on tomorrow. I’m a firm believer in ensuring Reef’s success by modifying all he does, to a standard he can manage, while encouraging him to try new skills. A crucial part of managing this is understanding his abilities, and modifying to suit. Whilst we are aiming at most, if not all of his products are made himself, I know he wouldn’t be able to manage the wire on this, so whilst he can forriage for the driftwood, and attach the Old Man’s Beard, this wire work is too tricky for him. Maybe we can work on a jig, but in the meantime, these will do 😍

How amazing is Mother Nature? These were only done this morning… and just look how this little one has already sprouted!! He’s not the only one that’s been busy growing today…. But he is by far the most impressive. 🤩
