We have a knock knock frog at the garden. So excited to hear his noisy croak on and off for about a week now. Although, I do spy some froggy eggs in the top left corner of the pond so maybe we have a lady froggy or maybe even a pair 🤞 🐸

Our first strawberries in the garden 🍓
You know spring is here when the strawberries start a coming. And judging by all those green berries hiding underneath, there are plenty more to come 🙌

We propagated a whole bunch of strawberry runners from our strawberry patch a while back. We potted them up and now have lots of healthy young plants ready for new homes.

We are open tomorrow morning (Saturday) if you'd like to pop in and grab a few.

🌱 Strawberry plants – just $2 each!

📍 4 Parkside Drive, Lalor Park
🕤 Thursdays & Saturdays, 9:30am–12:30pm

The garden is open to everyone during these times, so come in and say hello.
The free seed bank is available too with lots of seeds to share.

Today we made pizza! 🍕🔥
Andrew fired up the pizza oven and cooked the most amazing wood-fired pepperoni pizzas for lunch. He also tried ricotta calzone in the oven for the first time — absolutely delicious! 👌

You may (or may not!) notice that our pizza oven now has a brand-new roof over its head. Previously, we used a tarpaulin to keep it covered and dry. Apparently, a wet pizza oven is not a happy pizza oven — moisture can cause it to crack when it heats up. 😬

So, over the past couple of weeks, Andrew and Andrew have been busy designing and building a permanent shelter for it. They've done a fantastic job, and we love the finished result!

We also had to try that viral dessert made with Kingston biscuits and peach juice. 😋 Verdict: definitely a keeper!

And yes... we did manage to squeeze in a bit of actual gardening too. Mostly tidying things up ahead of our AGM this Saturday.

A reminder to our members that you are invited to join us this Saturday for our AGM, followed by lunch. We'd love to see you there!

We've been enjoying homemade lemonade with the lemons that members have been bringing in to the garden to share.

Sometimes I make it with just the juice, water and sugar and ice in the smoothie maker bullet. And sometimes I just chuck the lemon in whole 🍋

For this batch we used honey instead of sugar. Delish. Im wondering if maybe I should chuck in some ginger next time. What do you reckon?

Garden is open this morning to members and visitors

Earlier this year, in February, Kamal brought eight small red Sri Lankan onions into the garden after buying them from a local grocer.

He planted them, and over the following months they multiplied. As each clump grew, they were divided and replanted, turning eight onions into... well... heaps!

This is how they're looking now. Come spring, we should have a fantastic harvest.

Growing food is awesome 👌

Take Home Sprouting Activity for Kids! 🌱

We recently received a generous donation of broccoli microgreen seeds for our Free Seed Library.
It's given us a great opportunity to share the joy of growing your own food with the kids in our community in a fun and hands-on way.

We've put together some free little packets of broccoli microgreen seeds, paired with a fun kids' activity that can be made at home. It's a simple way for children to learn where food comes from while growing their very own edible and snippable "hair" ✂️🌱

Pop into the garden during our opening hours to pick up a pack. We also have a selection of vegetable seed packets available in the Seed Library.
How do you like to use your microgreens?
A big thank you to Lorenza for her generous seed donation. 💚

Hello Wormies 🪱👋

Taking a minute to say hi to our hardest-working garden members, quietly toiling away and turning our scraps into nutrient-rich castings.

How good are wormies? Absolute legends!

Our Andrew was up the ladder again on the weekend, working on project. Give him a hammer, a builder's square and chuck in some math calculations and he's a happy man.

This time he's started on building a pergola that will extend out from the community kitchen area.

Now, if it all goes to plan, the grapevine will politely make its way up from the herb garden on the left, over the pergola, providing us with shade during the warmer months. We'll then be able to stroll beneath it, casually plucking grapes as we go 🍇 👑

No pressure, grapevine 😄
