End of March is right time of year to plant out a range of vegetables and herb seedlings for growing over Winter.

I am sowing plenty of seeds for winter lettuce, broccoli, beetroot, spinach, leeks, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, parsley + other herbs. Punnets of these can be sold at Fair or even given away. We can’t have enough of these, so if anybody wants to help please do.

How about somebody doing some herbs?

We had a fantastic meeting, Wednesday 18th, to coordinate many of the great ideas that locals have had to make this a wonderful sharing event.

We hope to make this an annual fair and the level of success will be determined by how much people help make this one great.

We are looking for people to be involved as much as possible. Many small roles need doing – including the following:

• Stall coordination for preserves, jumble / garage sale.
• Coordinator for exhibition arts stall (all age groups), with prizes.
• Raffle coordinator
• Workshop coordinator (Tas Aboriginal shell jewellery? Shingle Splitting? Wildfire prevention and defence? Circus skills?)
• Help with letterboxing
• Transport / parking manager

Please contact Amanda if you can donate/sale/exhibit re any of these stalls.

We have achieved so much already regarding Harvest Fair, including involvement with Tas Fires Service, Council, Harvest Seed company, various stalls, craft, garden, cake stall coordinators, first aid, bushcare.

For more information please see attached minutes (below) and please do come to any of weekly meetings / morning tea at Amanda’s @ 144 Waterworks Rd.

Hi All,

I am looking at getting a small group together to organise a family Harvest Fair in Waterworks Reserve around the last Sunday 29th of March.

If anyone is interested in helping, the idea is to have all the catchment letterboxed and invited to bring their home made produce of any description for giving, exchanging or selling.

Will also have some old style entertainments such as facepainting, apple bobbing and guessing games as well as some live joyful music.

Give me a ring or email if you are interested or leave a comment below.

(Note: Folks are meeting at Amanda’s on 18th at 10am for morning tea to help plan this event – 144 Waterworks Rd)
