WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES!

Northcote Stationeers participated in Clean Up Australia’s Great Spring Clean Up yesterday at the half basketball court on Hartington Street, Northcote. The weather was perfect for our 19 volunteers, including neighbours and family, to w**d and fill a dozen green bins as well as several piles of green waste.

We’re hoping our efforts will allow a number of self sown plants to thrive and we welcomed the arrival of a number of birds to see what we were planning for them!

Thanks to Darebin Council for their removal of the burnt out and dead tree branches.

Come and join us for this year’s Great Spring Cleanup!!
Northcote Stationeers invites all our followers and friends to join us in a Clean Up event of the station surrounds on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18 from 10:00-12:00.

Our aim is to “clean up” areas around the station gardens including the adjacent half basketball court. Neighbours, commuters, basketballers - all welcome. We will be picking up rubbish, w**ding, removing dead branches - all in an effort make our neighbourhood safer and more attractive for all to enjoy.

Get in touch to let us know you are coming - we will host a light morning tea after the event to celebrate our work. Dm me or email us.

Meet at the Hartington station building entrance shortly before 10, dress for the weather and bring water and light w**ding tools if you can.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Finally mown after 12 weeks! Gives us the opportunity to focus on a beautiful range of winter colour and healthy thriving plants and garden beds. An ode to winter and the uplifting effects of a winter garden on those who pass through.

Mother Nature might be thwarting our attempts at ridding our garden of w**ds, but she’s repaying us in spades. The garden is thick and lush and there are pops of pre-winter colour everywhere- even on this gloomy Monday morning.

The recent rain has brought beautiful green lushness to our garden this autumn. It’s also brought a lot of unwanted w**ds especially along the edges of our beds. A group of enthusiastic w**ders tacked the removal job on Sunday - resulting in several green bins full of w**ds. A successful day in anyone’s assessment. But alas, Mother Nature has other ideas, so we’ll need to be back at it in the near future in order to regain some control.

Fifteen volunteers participated in our 11th consecutive Clean Up Australia Day, mainly concentrating on some basics of garden maintenance. And with a bit of extra help from Mother Nature, our garden is looking very green and refreshed. There was less rubbish this year, mainly due to our continuous pickup throughout the year, but the cleaning of the agapanthus walk still produced 7 green bins of dead leaf matter. The long triangle gardens got their annual tidy up ….. and the difficult job of cleaning up the gutters in the underpass resulted in a few loads of mulch, a tidier pathway and hopefully less chance of clogging gutters and flooding during a heavy downpour. The walkways on the Hartington side have also had the treatment from the blower vac with finishing broom work, leaving them with a sharp garden defining edge. And finally, we have finished the massive job of mulching the last of the poas.
We all agreed that these are not our favourite jobs, but they are rewarding when finished and you can see a “job well done”.

A Month of Sundays…….
And what a month it’s been. Our volunteers have been extra busy this month - over the last 4 Sundays in January, sixty six volunteers worked for 231 hours w**ding, mulching, watering and generally tidying up the “park” surrounding Northcote Station. Some of our volunteers attended all 4 working bees!! We’ve made the area more accessible, more welcoming, more loved and more prepared for whatever weather is to come. We met neighbours, train travellers, dog walkers, bike riders - many of whom had a smile, a thank you and a thumbs up for our work. Above all , together we enjoy the cameraderie, support and fun that happens when we get together!!! What a group!!!
