This coming Sunday June 7th, the Crookwell Community Garden will be having their monthly working bee from 10am.
We share a delicious morning tea and do light chores around the patch.
Everyone is welcome to join us. Rug up…. the weather has turned cold but perfect for planting winter veg and pruning the last of the spent autumn plants.
Who knows, a big pot of hearty vegetable soup may be on offer?🍲🧁🍰☕️🥖

It’s raining leaves!

The gardeners participated in another monthly working bee recently, ticking off some more garden chores.
There are fallen leaves everywhere and these will be raked and placed into leaf mold baskets around the patch.
Our workers cleared some of the garden beds of summer crops and these will be enriched with compost and manure to prepare for spring plantings.
We are excited to say the new garden beds in front of the polytunnels are now complete thanks to Andrew, one of our members.
These beds will help to beautify the area with perennials and bulbs to be planted, helping to supply food and pollen for our beneficial insects and pollinators.
Also, two beautiful standard roses have been donated and planted in the new beds by another member, Juliane.
The compost area is complete and already being put to good use.
Next week we will celebrate our eight-year anniversary when Costa Georgiadis officially opened the garden on May 12, 2018.
With dedication and hard work from our members and volunteers, also mentioning the many supporters and sponsors, the garden has blossomed into a sustainable and welcoming asset for Crookwell, the surrounding areas and visitors alike.
We meet the first Sunday of each month at 10am to enjoy a shared morning tea and chores around the patch.

Farmer Bron loves it when the younger generation visits the community garden!
The Laggan School students stopped in for a wonder through and lessons about planting this time of year. We even sampled some leafy greens and picked raspberries.

Ticking off the big jobs!

The new compost area is nearly complete thanks mainly to David and Janine, with help by some of our other garden members.
Once completed, the compost area will have six bins.
Two with working compost and the remaining for storage of garden refuse, greens and browns.
A special thank you to Matt's Bakery for their coffee grinds which help with our nitrogen requirements.
Also, a special thank you to Brian for the lovely horse manure he delivers.
We rake up our autumn leaves and place them in leaf mold baskets to decompose.
We also use the 'chop and drop' method in our beds to work the trimmings back into the soil.
Naked real estate brings weeds, and they get the chop too!
The secret to good garden beds is to 'feed your soil' which helps to feed your plants.

Photos are of garden member David taking delivery of the besser blocks from Gus and the new compost bins during construction.

Call in and have a look around the garden.

New grey gum seating to have a yarn!

The Community Garden had a recent delivery of some grey gum (Eucalyptus Punctata) timber blocks to help create a yarning circle.
Nick and Lillian from Greenwich Park have donated and delivered the timber blocks.
The garden group looked at a sustainable alternative for seats under one of the big shade trees at the garden and thanks to Nick and Lillian, we now have that perfect seating.
The area will be enhanced with mulch and potted plants in the future.
This is another great addition to the garden for all our community to share.
Thanks to Juliane and Ray Croker for organising the delivery and installation.
If you are interested in attending one of our working bees, we meet the first Sunday of each month at 10am.
Come along and enjoy a cuppa with us and a tour through the garden, that we love to share.
You can even get your hands dirty and as the saying goes, 'many hands make light work' - helping us out and learning along the way, with a large list of chores for each working bee.

Around the patch

What a difference a little cooler weather has made to the patch.
The Community Garden is still producing lots of leafy greens and a few late raspberries and tomatoes.
We held our AGM recently and reflected on another successful 12 months.
One of the highlights being open for the Crookwell Open Garden’s Festival with many visitors, locally and from away, visiting the patch.
This Sunday April 12 is our next working bee, from 10am.
We invite anyone who is interested in gardening to come along and share morning tea with our group and a few light chores around the patch.
We will be focusing on preparing and feeding our soil and planting winter vegetables. The garden beds have been pruned, fertilized and mulched ready for this.
In Autumn you can continue to plant lettuce varieties, spinach and kale, herbs like parsley, sage and thyme, the allium and brassica families, root crops like carrots, radish, beetroot, swede and parsnips. Broad bean seeds can also be planted as the soil is still warm enough for germination. A handy tip to protect your seedlings from Cabbage White Butterflies (Pieris rapae) is to cover with old lace curtains.
The garden is operated by volunteers from our community who plant, water and maintain the patch. We need more helpers if you are keen!
If you visit and harvest produce, please remember to give a donation in one of the honesty boxes provided. These donations help us replant more produce for all to enjoy.
Also remember to only pick what you can use and leave some to share with others!
Regards Bron

Out with the old, starting the new!

It was all about keeping the patch tidy and clean on the weekend with our volunteers kept busy.
A big thank you to David and Janine for taking a ute load of rubbish to the tip.
Big thank you also to our volunteers who trimmed, weeded, composted, harvested and kept us sustained with a beautiful morning tea.
We have a little more building to finish the new compost area but it’s looking good so far.
Pop into the garden and enjoy the green space.
We are currently clearing out the old plants and feeding our beds ready to plant our autumn and winter crops.
If you are interested in joining our garden group, send us a message for more information.
We meet the first Sunday, monthly. You can pick produce but please leave a donation in one of the honesty boxes located around the garden.
This helps us to replenish veggies in the patch. Thank you!

This Sunday March 1 is clean up Australia Day. The Community Gardeners are cleaning up the patch and will be starting construction on the new composting area. Pop in to say hello and give us a hand!
We will have a cuppa and cake and do some chores around the garden. If you’d like to join our group to help grow the patch and for more info phone Bron 0423692646.
Footnote: there is still a few prize winning cucumbers to harvest but remember to leave a donation so we can grow the next crops.
Thank you!
