Community Garden Update!
On Saturday morning six of us met to work together in the Community Garden.
It had been a while since Rebecca had been with us on a Saturday morning so we welcomed her energy and ideas.
We pegged out the site of the shelter shed and the first of the garden tunnels we had been given by the Mount Hyland nursery.
We retrieved about 20 large old boards that had been seats from a demolished grandstand in the Showground and placed them on the ground in the garden where we will use them for garden beds.
We measured proposed sites for a water tank we have received a Nutriens grant to pay for and made a decision about the position and the size of the tank.
I will place an order for the tank and pump with Jarred at the Dorrigo Hardware this week.
It was decided to use the rocks that have been gleaned from the surface of the site to make a creekbed feature in the swale.
At the next Community Garden meeting we want to make garden beds out of those boards, spread the rocks in the swale and prepare a site for the tank..

FEBRUARY
Huge news for February is the commencement of the new improved Community Garden space. We are so grateful to Rebecca Doblo, who provided the design, and also to our amazing volunteers for preparing the foundations. We welcome volunteers to join us on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month for working bees on the garden.
