Community Garden-TASNG

The harvest
IN THE GARDEN- THE PAST MONTH...
We have been harvesting our Summer bounty of corn, cucumbers, beans and arm loads of eggplants. It’s amazing what can pop up out of edge of our little carpark at the Toronto Senior Citizens Hall.

VERANDAH GARDEN IS IN THE MAKING
The local Mens Shed have kindly volunteered to build our retaining wall for the next stage of the garden to be located between the back veranda and carpark.

Plans and materials are being finalized ready to start building soon.

WHATS NEXT WITH THE PONY CLUB?
Next step for the proposed Community Garden on Hampton Ct parkland in Carey Bay is to build a full working committee.

We have a couple of people available to work on this committee, but we need more to make it happen. Lend a hand to   your community and be apart of this exciting project. Please contact Tricia Hunt (Chair Person) 4959 8811 if you would like to find out more.

WHAT TO PLANT THIS MONTH...
Snow Peas ,Green Beans, Broad Beans, Turnip, Broccoli, Beetroot, Cabbage, Garlic, Cauliflower ,Onion, Kale, Celery, Khol Rabi, Celeriac, Lettuce,  Spinach,Silver beet Shallots, Leek

The Senior Citz garden does, however, need attention and we have seedlings waiting to be planted. The next a gardening day is Saturday - 9th March - from 1.30pm. The garden will soon be open on a regular basis at this time so this is a start.

If you are free and you would like to be part of the community involved, that would be great. All the more the merrier! And all the more achieved of course.
