Much has been happening in the garden, both on the land and behind the scenes...
A fence has been erected around the garden with the dual purpose of keeping little ones in and pests out. Thank you, Jon and team, for all your work so this could happen.
The grass is looking very brown after a good spraying, thank you Brian!
A large delivery for 14 raised garden beds, and our shed arrived. We received a helpful discount from Bunnings in Dural in support of this order.
An order has been placed for 2 lovely large picnic tables ready for communal cups of tea and lunches once the garden is open.
Another successful working bee, with many helpful hands big and small. We’ve had fences built, lawns mowed, trenches dug, rocks dug out, pavers transported, raised beds built, food made, plumbing investigated and much, much more. Thank you to everyone, big and small, who has come along to help at our working bees – we appreciate you so much!
Chris Thomas has helped us to secure a second grant with Bendigo bank. This is very exciting, and I feel between both grants, we will be able to cover all the major costs to get this garden up and running.
We have also received much help from the Men's Shed so far. Help with connections to Bunnings in Dural, help with supplies and help with manual labor, with more to come.
And thank you to our team of faithful helpers who unite with the shared goal of seeing this community garden come to life. You are appreciated immensely.
