Working bees:
- During daylight saving time: every Saturday from 8:30 am to 10:30 am.
- During standard time: on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturday of the month from 9am to 11am. Prior to this date, the local council used the U-shaped and ground level cement beds for growing flowers. The APCG group uses chemical free gardening methods to grow herbs, vegetables, fruit (tomatoes) and edible and pest repellent flowers. If you join, you can share the organic produce, after a day spent at the working bee. You will meet some great people in your community and learn some new skills. Each February we ask our members to pay a small yearly membership fee to assist with the purchase of soil and soil preparation, seedlings, plants, mulch, garden equipment and insurance.
