The Chatsworth Regional Hospice Association, situated at Strelitzia Avenue, Silverglen, is proudly reaping the fruits of its hydroponic garden. The now fully functional hydroponic garden is yielding a healthy crop of tomatoes and other vegetables, which will, upon availability, be for sale to households and businesses. While it is only tomatoes that have been harvested presently, there will soon be dhania and mint available for sale.
The first harvest of tomatoes was sold out, and the overwhelming support from customers has been most encouraging and a clear testament to the success of the hydroponic garden project.
All vegetables will be sold from the hospice charity shoppe, situated on the premises of the Chatsworth Hospice. The charity shoppe is open from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 3:30 pm. Shoppers are encouraged to call the hospice before going to purchase, especially when making bulk purchases.
The hydroponic garden is a long-awaited and much-anticipated project that serves to generate much-needed funds to sustain the valuable palliative care rendered free of charge to patients of the Chatsworth Hospice. It also serves to provide fresh, organic produce to encourage healthier lifestyles for community members as a healthy diet is integral to maintaining good health.
