We meet weekly for gardening, maintenance and a morning tea and chat. We provide members with social activities to connect at the garden in the shed or around the firepit and at other venues. A monthly newsletter is sent out to all members and there are opportunities to lease a plot as well as support us in maintaining the community garden beds for our weekly Foodbank harvests. Members share their gardening knowledge and skills in a non-judgmental and inclusive way.
We also have opportunities for Friends of the Garden to volunteer. |
