Garden Make-overs

Garden Make-overs

We are underway in our initiative to help neighbourhoods get started with back-yard vege-gardens. Our flyer has been distributed, and a team of volunteers has been gathered to help people with planning their garden spaces. Part of our job is to raise awareness with Landlords about the benefits of allowing tenants to put in a vegetable garden.

We held a successful fundraising film night, screening 'The Real Dirt on Farmer John', and raised over $300.  Some of this has gone towards vegetable seeds; corn, beans, brocolli, cabbage and carrots.  We have a small supply of seedlings of lettuce and silverbeet, and home-collected seeds of kamo kamo, rocket, sensopai and more silverbeet. 

It would be wonderful if we could get some more seeds, more seedlings and tools for the tool library.  If you grow seedlings and you have surplus, please consider the garden make-over team!
