Unique at MNH – Borrow a free Lawn Mower
THE FREE Lawn Mower Bank at Morwell Neighbourhood House and Learning Centre is a unique borrowing initiative established to allow the community access to equipment to perform that sometimes challenging outdoor duty.
MNH’s lawn mowers are well maintained and available for pick up during the week between the Centre’s opening hours. Bookings are essential and usually made a week or two in advance.
Many people make use of the handy mower scheme, and comment on how much easier it has made life, keeping their property safer and more liveable, saving them from Council fines and embarrassment at not being able to maintain their property in a neat and tidy fashion. “I’ve borrowed from the lawn mower bank several times,” said local mother Kerry, who now let’s her children play in their yard without the annoyance of prickles and fear of broken items being hidden in the long grass. “My children need to play outside and to run around”.
A practical scheme, the Lawn Mower Bank is even group-planned so borrowers can use one car to pick it up from the Centre, get their lawn done and then share with a neighbour, elderly or less mobile user, which “kills two birds with one stone,” said Mark, a long-time Lawn Banking participant.
“I wasn’t able to mow my lawns before I started booking it (along with) with Stu. He has a car, and we use it to do his house, mine and my sisters. It’s great, because I actually love mowing the lawn”.
The Morwell Neighbourhood House Lawn Mower Bank is a one-off program not offered anywhere else “Our users respect our equipment and as long as the mowers are returned on time, we are all happy’’ said MNH Co-ordinator Tracie Lund.
‘‘People appreciate the scheme, and return to use it again and again’’.
