The garden group are delighted with their first planting of potatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, salad greens, garlic chives, celery, spring onions, peas, beans and cucumber.

After a month of hard work making compost and preparing the beds, the seedlings are shooting up and have managed to survive a couple of very hot days. The beds are quite exposed, so shade cloth has now been erected to protect the young shoots during the hottest part of the day.

As this...

The brand new raised garden beds came with protectors so that people working the garden would not harm themselves on the sharp edges.

Sometime between Monday 24 and Wednesday 26 someone has removed the edging from all three of the raised garden beds.

Whoever has stolen them please return or if you know of who did ask them on our behalf to return them to the garden.

The Garden Beds donated by Great Lakes Council have arrived and are now installed.

A big thankyou to David Bortfield, Drew Martin and the Council workers who have supported the start up of the garden and of course our local Hall Committee members and the Community Garden Network.

We are hoping to raise enough funds to buy some quality soil to fill the beds and buy some implements.

If you would like to be involved in the garden come along to the Hall this Saturday where members will be cooking breakfasts for a fund raiser. Or contact...
