The Grand Opening

What a great day. a good crowd came to see Deputy Mayor Jim Howard officially opening the gardens and plant a Robinia in the centre of the gardens to mark the day (6th June 1014 by the way).

                                          They're arriving!

                                          They're here.

                                         Some of our guests planted up a raised bed, under                                                                                    the direction of the fabulous Karen Lenehan.

Prepping for the Opening

 We planted a few beds up to show how it's done Signs and bunting up too.

Gardening Workshops

We held a number of gardening workshops in the early part of 2014 - Urban Garden Design, Soils and Composting, Low-Water Use Gardening, Companion Planting, and Goring Vegetables. These were delivered by Karen McLennan of Karen McLennan Permaculture. They were a huge success!
