Our garden is growing UP

Over the past couple of days, the garden has gained some height with the addition of some wonderful advanced fruit trees and trellis structures. As always, we have several people and businesses to thank to enable these additions occur.


Thank you to our local community members, Vivian Jones and the Pascoe famiy, for donating the mulberry, orange and mandarine trees. We look forward to nurturing your beautiful trees to ensure they produce nutritious fruit for all to share.


Thank you to Ellenby Tree Farm for donating three Crabapple Trees. These trees look beautiful lining our pathways and helping screen the view of the urban drain.

Thank you to Yates for the donations of fertilisers and soil wetters. These products were essential in giving these advanced trees the best chance of survival after being transplanted.

Thank you once again to Anthony from AP Paving for donating his time and supplies. Ant not only helped with the tree transplanting busy bee, but he also built and install two awesome trellis structures between the fruit trees to support a creeper and installed more accessible reticulation for the lower beds and fruit trees. The trellis' add a lovely new dimension to the garden and will look amazing covered in a creeper, nicely bordering the garden and screening it from the urban drain. You are absolutely amazing Ant and we really appreciate your initiative, time and hard work.



Last but by no means least, thank you to the hard worker busy bee helpers who assisted in digging out the fruit trees, digging the new holes and tranplanting the trees. Thank you to Sonya for coordinating the Planting Team, and thank you to Ellen, John, Tam, Graham, Adam, Liv, Dayle, Ben, Fred, Belinda, Helen, Sue and Sandy for your time and assistance.

The Easter Bunny found our garden


What an overwhelming turnout for our Inaugural Easter Egg Hunt in our new community garden!


After more than 120 people arrived at the garden this morning, when there was only expected to be just over 50, we had to make some quick adjustment of the plans on the fly, so we truly appreciate everyone's patience, understanding and contributions to help the event go ahead. It ended up being an amazing morning with so much community spirit. The wonderful families were so appreciative and the gorgeous kids had the most beautiful manners. It was a pleasure to be able to hold this free event for the community.


Thank you to all the kids (and Sara) who crafted amazing Easter hats to enter the Easter Hat parade. It was hard to pick our winners, with so many beautifully made hats.




Congratulations to Ed and Zoe for winning the Easter Hat competition! We hope you enjoy your prizes.


Congratulations to Abby for winning the 'guess how many lollies in the jar' competition and for so generously sharing your prize around for all the enjoy. You truly are a little treasure.





Wishing everyone a very Hop Hop Hoppy and safe Easter with your families.

Hope to see you in the garden soon.
