ADDI MOVES
Addi Moves is an amazing community initiative supported by Mindgardens Neuroscience Network, NSW Health and UNSW Sydney. It is a free of charge exercise facility for people form refugee or asylum seeker backgrounds located within the Addison road Community Centre in Marrickville. The premises had an undercover entrance/veranda and a small garden out front that was looking very overgrown and sad.
Our brief was to revive the garden, replace a section of picket fence and add a gate. The Addi moves staff had coordinated a small group of volunteers, mostly co-workers and peers in the exercise physiology and psychology fields. On the first day they got stuck straight in clearing the old garden of overgrown grasses and weeds while Kyle put in some ACQ (non arsenic) treated pine sleeper edging. The garden was then filled with a native garden soil mix and topped with tree mulch from Australian native landscapes (https://anlscape.com.au/).
The existing Bougainvillea that had grown its spiky vines all over the place was cut back and trained onto a wire trellis running between the veranda posts.
We cut a rounded profile on the top of the pickets to give a soft welcoming appearance. Then then all the timber was sanded and oiled with organoil decking oil: (https://prep-productions.com/organoil-products/) and a post and some rails were installed.
Kyle then came back for a third day finish the picket fence and gate install and give it all a second coat of oil.
The end result is a beautiful mostly native garden and striking but warm and welcoming custom cypress pine fence and entrance.
