Wally Worm's Urgent Plea: Support Our Worm Farm!
Wally Worm Needs Your Help! 🍎🪱 Don't Let Him Cry!
We have an urgent message from one of our most beloved residents, Wally Worm, who lives with his friends at the Mandurah Community Gardens Worm Farm.
Recently, Wally has been feeling a little... well, panicked. He asked us to share his story with you, and it truly touched our hearts.

WHY IS WALLY WORM PANICKING?
Well, we've asked him and this is what he says:
"Hi, I'm Wally Worm and I live with my friends at the Worm Farm at Mandurah Community Gardens.
What a fantastic place to be - I feel so lucky to have people who look after me and feed me regularly with such great food, especially the food that's easy to eat and they give me such variety - I never know what's coming next! And, would you believe, they dry out the farm after heavy rain and provide ice blocks during heatwaves!! So considerate.
I heard something last week that really worried me and when I spoke to my friends, they started worrying too.
I overheard the dinner ladies who feed us saying that they're having difficulty getting volunteers to feed us . They said that they enjoyed feeding the worms but there needed to be more people on the Worm Feeding Roster to share the responsibilities rather than the job always landing on the same shoulders.
I don't know why so many people don't like worms - we don't hurt anybody and we do so much to help the environment. We're nature's recyclers and, what's more, we provide so many nutrients for the plants in the Gardens.
All we need is for someone to feed us and, in return, we'll get on with our recycling quietly for everyone's benefit. I'm really scared because if the roster doesn't grow, then we may not get fed and we couldn't survive if that were to happen".

Do you think that you could spare some time to feed our valuable worms? The task isn't difficult and we'll be happy to show you what happens and discuss how much time it actually takes. It would only take approximately an hour of your time each week and the 'feeding time' can be adjusted to your routine. The more people we have on the roster, the easier it is for everyone involved. Why not find out more and, maybe you'll decide to have a go at this most valuable task and stop Wally's panic attacks.
