at Flat 4, 64 Waterworks Rd

(In May meeting we were advised the the speed humps are definitely going ahead very soon, foreshadowed our climate grant project start-up date, planned ‘turning the first sod’ in community garden and agreed to contribute $50 to Princes Street School garden.)

Community garden is on!

Saturday 16th was bleak, showery day, but we turned out in numbers for the ‘turing the first sod’, at community garden. It’s a very sunny spot and the soil is good.

The cabbages and carrots will have a great view of the mountain.

Contact for the garden will be Trish Moran.

Thanks to all who came, especially Trish for organising the day and The Graddons whose land has been made available.
