Rommelstrooi op veral meentgronde en oop stukke grond het \u2019n groot probleem in sekere dele van Caledon geword. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelukkig het \u2019n paar inwoners die inisiatief geneem om nie net hul eie sypaadjies nie, maar ook openbare stukke grond, te verfraai deur veral droogtebestande plante soos vetplante te plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Hermanus Times<\/i> het met verskeie mense, wat openbare tuintjies aangel\u00ea het, gepraat en sal in die volgende uitgawes meer daaroor berig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stephen Wildschut, \u2019n bekende oudonderwyser, het nie net sy eie sypaadjie voor sy huis in Bergsig verfraai nie, maar ook di\u00e9 aan die oorkant van sy huis. Hy beoog om binnekort met \u2019n deel van die nabygele\u00eb meentgrond te begin en selfs \u2019n \u201cplantbank\u201d op die been te bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs afgetredene wat al jare in hierdie woonbuurt bly, het ek gesien hoe veral die meentgronde in rommelhope ontaard het. Die mensdom is geneig om sy eie werf skoon te maak en dan word tuinvullis met \u2019n kruiwa aangery en op die meentgrond gestort,\u201d s\u00ea Wildschut. \u201cEk het tot die besef gekom dat die enigste manier om die rommelstrooi te bekamp, is om sypaadjies en meentgronde te verfraai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is bekommerd oor Bergsig en Vleiview en vroeg in Januarie het ek die idee gekry om mense op sosiale media te vra om skouer aan die wiel te sit om hul sypaadjies en ons meentgronde te verfraai.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wildschut s\u00ea: \u201cJy as mens gaan so trots voel, en dit sal ook as aansporing dien vir ander mense wat verbystap en die mooiheid daarvan sien. Baie mense het ongelukkig die verwagting dat die munisipaliteit die sypaadjies moet skoonmaak, maar ek is so dankbaar dat baie mense in ons gemeenskap in Caledon t\u00f3g die visie het om self hul sypaadjie en meentgrond te versier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie doel met die verfraaiing is om \u2019n omgewingsvriendelike woonbuurt te skep, wat met plante en herwonne materiaal versier word, wat dan ook die bekamping van rommelstrooi aanmoedig. Dit is terselfdertyd \u2019n opvoedingstaak en waardering van die natuur. Dit is vir my belangrik. Ons kan nie die natuur so binne ons woonbuurte skend nie. Ons moet trots h\u00ea. Wanneer ek in my woonbuurt ry of stap, moet my hart bons van trots en ek moet kan s\u00ea: \u201cKyk hoe mooi! Ek sal ook graag wil sien dat al die winkel-, kafee- en huiswinkeleienaars netjiese vullisdromme buite hul winkels plaas om rommelstrooiery te verminder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wildschut s\u00ea hy het al vele komplimente ontvang van mense wat verbyry en die verandering sien, en ook dat studente van die kollege dikwels daar foto\u2019s neem. Met Hermanus Times<\/i> se besoek het \u2019n groep studente juis daar vertoef en genoem hoe mooi die sypaadjietuin is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit laat my goed voel en is \u2019n aansporing,\u201d s\u00ea Wildschut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wildschut wil graag \u2019n \u201cplantbank\u201d begin. \u201cGeeneen van ons hoef plante te gaan koop nie. Ons kan plante en steggies uitruil. Ek is bereid om ander met bystand, raad en aanmoediging te help. As almal \u2019n bietjie inisiatief aan die dag l\u00ea, kan ons woonbuurt in hierdie jaar nog pragtig lyk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indien enigiemand plante \u2013 veral vetplante en ander droogtebestande plante \u2013 vir hierdie projek wil skenk of raad benodig, kan hulle Wildschut by 063 324 2723 bel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
