A community outreach program allows organisations or individuals to connect with a community and address its needs. We were privileged as UWC Nature Reserve to work hand in hand with Tembaletu Protective Workshop to meet them at their point of need and learn from one another. 

The goals of a community outreach program include: 
  •  To improve the quality of life for community members
  •  To raise awareness of important issues
  •  To build relationships between the organisation or individual and the community
  •  To empower community members to make positive changes
The visit promoted environmental awareness and the use of indigenous plants through educational gardening and propagation activities.

Here are some of the topics that were covered: 
  1.  Parts of a plant 
  2. Types of roots 
  3. Soil types 
  4. Gardening tools 
  5. What plants need to grow
  6. How to make new plants and keep the old ones (Propagation) 
  7. Types of plants 
  8. Indigenous and exotic plants
