As we head into the winter months, we are busy preparing our soup packs to go out twice weekly to those in need within our community.
If anyone has any spare pumpkins they would like to donate to the Community Garden they would be much appreciated.

Many thanks to all those that have supported this raffle to help raise funds for our Winter Soup Packs. We deliver these over the winter months to about 40 households per fortnight, within the Community.
Firstly, Sandra Wallace for organising and running these raffles annually for us. A enormous thank you - with these funds we are able to focus on delivering these packs, rather than fundraise ourselves.
Our local businesses listed below that supplied prizes - thank you. Support them whenever you can.
And of course all those that brought tickets - thank you from us.

If anyone has excess fruit (especially feijoas) or veges we are more than happy to take them off your hands and add them to our bags that we deliver twice weekly around the community.
PM and we can arrange pickup. Thanks in advance.

We've been busy down at the Garden preparing for winter by covering our beds with frost cloth and laying wool mulch.
We trialled the wool mulch rolls last year and found they worked well. They suppress weeds, hold moisture, keeps soil warmer & slow releases nutrition back into the soil. A win, win.

Look out for us and come and say hi.
