2024: Trevor’s horticultural heritage, passed down from his botanist grandfather and mother with a knack for gardening, instilled in him a profound bond with nature. This bond fueled his desire to cultivate a rich, thriving garden of his own. 

Before commencing with Interchange though, he did not have the spur to ‘start’ this big project. But now, his Support Workers are going above and beyond in motivating him to pursue his dreams. With success! The pictures say it all – Trevor has built himself a magnificent green oasis. 

Feeling grounded yet in sync with nature is one of the many benefits Trevor experiences with having his own garden. He loves just being in his green safe heaven and listening to the birds, watching the seasons change and of course harvesting the many goods he planted. He also loves the added privacy and the overall look the juicy green plants allow for. 

Gardening is a terrific way to stay healthy and active, as it invites plenty of time spent outdoors and encourages physical activity. Plus, for Trevor, it’s not just a hobby but a rich source of fresh and vibrant veggies that boost his diet and overall wellbeing 

Trevor’s latest exciting project is creating a worm farm to generate his own fertiliser. Even though it has previously exposed itself to be quite a tricky task, Trevor is not one to back down from a challenge. With his Support Workers by his side, he knows he’s got a team ready to help him navigate every twist and turn on this journey. 

2025: Just a year ago, we celebrated the vibrant joy that blossomed from Trevor’s dedication to his veggie garden. 

Today, that same patch of earth is still thriving, bursting with fresh, healthy produce. Often, only moments pass between a vegetable being plucked from the soil and sizzling on Trevor’s pan or being served on his plate. It’s a beautiful rhythm of care, harvest, and nourishment in Trevor style. 

But Trevor’s love for growth and achievement does not stop at the garden gate. He is always eager to explore his community and discover what the city of Perth has to offer. Whether it is challenging his Support Worker to a round of mini golf, visiting animal parks and dinosaur exhibitions, or simply strolling through local parks, Trevor embraces each experience with curiosity and joy. 

He is also a proud regular at his local Men’s Shed, where he crafts stunning woodwork pieces that bring joy to others in his community. Trevor has made a spice rack, cheese and wine picnic fold out table, multi coloured wooden cutting board, toilet roll holder and paper towel holder

Trevor’s goal is to continue living independently, feeling safe and comfortable in his home and community. He is keen to learn new skills and gain knowledge that supports his journey toward living well. With the guidance and support of his Interchange team, Trevor is building a life filled with purpose, connection, and confidence. 

Though his family lives overseas, Trevor finds companionship, trust, and reliability in his Interchange support team. To him, Interchange WA is not just a service: it is like family. They are there for the everyday moments and the big milestones, helping Trevor thrive in the life he is creating for himself.
