So great to have made the Whatley Crescent strip a little more colourful and to see people use the massage chairs. Once the plants from Tucker Bush grow, it will be great to see people snipping off some Tucker for their dinners.
If you're feeling a little tense, take a walk down Whatley Crescent and try out the new community massage seats in front of Maylands Wellness Centre 💆
Naturopath and centre owner Rebecca Hall arranged this fun (and functional) new installation through the City's Placemaking Seed Funding program.
Each year, the City offers funding opportunities through the program to help get community-led initiatives up and running to add vibrancy to public spaces 🌱
Two purpose-built massage benches now sit in the centre's front garden alongside the footpath on the Whatley Crescent shopping strip, offering a little relief to passersby.
As part of the project, community herb gardens were also planted next to the seats, featuring edible Australian bush tucker, finger limes, mint and ginger 🌿
