The wicking beds at Waverley Meadows Primary School were donated so that their school garden would be easier to maintain and keep alive over the summer months. 

The garden is a big part of the school program and integrated into the school curriculum in many ways. By assisting with more robust watering less volunteers and school staff time are needed to keep the garden alive making it more secure and sustainable.
