Community Gardening
Growing fresh local veggies is on the rise. There’s more to it than compost and sunshine though. Meeting people who have the grow-know is a great way to learn, make friends and get some great ideas.
On Saturday 18th February 4-7pm, locals will be gathering at the Pony Club to garner interest for a community garden on the site. There is a process for getting a Community Garden up and running and this is what will be discussed. There will also be plant & veggie swap and a worm farming demo. Contact Michelle 0402924819 or Tricia 49598811 for more details
If you’d like to garden but don’t know what to grow there’s a planting guide on the Hunter Organic Growers’s (HOGs) website
HOGs also run monthly field days from noon-4pm. On Saturday 11 February at Wendy Abel’s home, 14 Woodley St Eleebana, there will be the sort of field day everyone enjoys; a look at a suburban backyard garden that makes the most of limited space very successfully. Wendy has raised garden beds for vegetables and chooks to show us.
We’ll be car pooling to the HOGs field day from the Carey Bay Shops. Contact Tricia for details on 4959 8811.
