The 2024 AGM - a meeting with a twist

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2024 AGM last Saturday.


It was wonderful to have some new community members elected on the Committee for the coming year and also have returning Committee Members elected.


At the meeting it was fantastic to get a recap of the most 'fruitful' year we have had so far. If you missed it, you can view it here


We appreciated receiving new ideas for events, the garden and the Charity, as well as favourite options from the attendees. This will assist the Committee to head the Charity into the direction the community wish for PCG.



It was also wonderful to chat with one another over a delicious afternoon tea (thank you to everyone who spent the time baking delicious treats) and tour the garden with attendees who haven't had the privilege of spending time in the amazing space we have all created.



We were honoured to have our valued PCG VIPs Caitlin Collins MLA, Cr Christine Hamilton-Prime JP - City of Joondalup, Liam Staltari - Liberal Member for Carine, Ian Goodenough MP and Vince Connelly - Liberal for Moore in attendance. We are so appreciative of your time and support.



We are so excited to start the new membership year with our newly elected Committee.


Let's get this party started!!!



Cultivating a garden, as well as friendships


Over the past two weekends Padbury Community Garden Inc. held two wonderful busy bees, which saw both dedicated regular volunteers as well as some fresh new faces join in.


For today's busy bee, we have these lovely people to thank for their time, effort, contribution and enthusiasm in making yet another marked improvement in the community garden:

Thank you Sue, Dave, Ant, Ellen, John, Dayle, Mark, Bryan, Jenny, Sister Thomas, Sister Manakofua, Pam, Carolyn, Holly, Marie, Liam, Liz, Simon, Christine, Issy, Jack, Beate, Sara,

Nathan and Joe.



With the placement of several new raised garden beds around the existing pathways, the community garden is certainly looking more complete. The funds that have recently come in from the State's Community Gardens Grant, has assisted in contributing money towards making it possible to add these additional features to the garden. With these raised garden beds now all planted out, it will be great to watch them flourish with produce for all to share.



It's always wonderful to see the layers of intergenerational engagement at the garden, creating new friendships and learning from each other. Such a valuable benefit we hope our community gains from having the community garden at their doorsteps.
