Yesterday was a fantastic day with music in the garden a decent attendant and it was nice to hear music feeding the garden with sound. Lots of smiles and sometimes pondering looks over lyrics and uplifting tunes.

Thanks to Neil for coordinating with Rebecca Dunn from CFINE for arranging the event.

To all the performers a big thank you for making this event special.

If anyone is interested, there is a full ep available to buy, the songs were written and recorded as part of the song writing courses in gardens across the city last year.

https://cfinecommunitymusicproject.bandcamp.com/album/growing-with-the-garden

Funds raised from this ep go to Cfine and will help to continue to bring events like this to community projects like this.

This is the video of the song written and performed yesterday as part of the song writing course. We will post some more videos and picture later in the week.
If you have any videos or photos from the event please tag us FRESH Community Wellness SCIO and on social media or send them in via email to [email protected]

Today is our Music in the garden event.
Music has been a very important part of the garden for both Fresh Community Wellness and its volunteers. As part of the garden along to music of many genres and ethnic backgrounds.
Of course the Mens music chat has helped our volunteers bond, make friendships with the love of music, and started discussions on various topics including mental health.

Music can heal the wounds which medicine cannot touch.” — Debasish Mridha.

Currently we have a song writing course until 2:45 and the 2:45 till 4 we will have live performances in the garden. Why not come along. We have free teas and coffee.

Huge thanks to Stewart for coming to help Dave with the heavy digging. The start of transforming the bed which we have tried on multiple occasions to get rid of the dandelions. New approach and easy keep area around the tall rose and then some planting in the border.

Forgot to post about our wee session on Friday. Lots of fabulous colours in the flower bed end of the garden. Thanks to our friends at Tullos Community Garden for strimming after learning how to safely use their new equipment. Looking good and it’s lots of work from Norma too to have the half barrel and pots tidied up. Thank you for the donations of plants and compost.

Could we respectfully ask anyone in need of produce to message us directly. We are trying to grow food produce for a community meal at the end of the season but unfortunately when someone was removing the potatoes which were not fully grown the carrots have been dislodged.

We will be covering food not ready to be harvested in netting and ask you do not remove until produce is ready.

Thank you for your cooperation. It’s hard to see this today when volunteers have put so much effort into the garden.

🌱 Uprzejma prośba do naszej społeczności 🌱

Jeśli ktoś potrzebuje świeżych warzyw lub owoców z naszego ogrodu, prosimy o wiadomość prywatną. Staramy się wyhodować plony na wspólny posiłek dla naszej społeczności pod koniec sezonu, ale chętnie pomożemy osobom, które tego potrzebują.

Niestety, podczas wykopywania ziemniaków, które nie były jeszcze gotowe do zbioru, zostały również uszkodzone i wyrwane marchewki. W rezultacie część naszych plonów może nie osiągnąć pełnego wzrostu.

Aby chronić warzywa, które nie są jeszcze gotowe do zbioru, będziemy przykrywać je siatką. Uprzejmie prosimy, aby nie zbierać żadnych warzyw ani owoców, dopóki nie będą gotowe.

Dziękujemy za zrozumienie i współpracę. Jest nam bardzo przykro, że doszło do takiej sytuacji, zwłaszcza że nasi wolontariusze włożyli w ten ogród wiele czasu, pracy i serca.

Hello everyone sorry it's been a little quiet of late. We have had some personal stuff to deal with over the last couple of months, so we haven't been in the garden as much as we would like to.
Yesterday was a good day in the garden we got some of the fruit & veg beds weeded and a load of docken leaves cut down around the garden before they dispersed their seeds.
We also managed to clear some of the composting area and use the compost to fill some of the planers.
Hopefully this will see a start to more regular sessions in the garden keep an eye out on the page for more details.
Normal sessions will be Saturday 10-12
