Chelsea St Garden

So yesterday was Spring planting, a bunch of us got together with heaps of different herbs, some tomatoes, beans and chili and capsicum, and sunflowers.  We put some fences up too to help protect the seedlings. Next we need to think about watering!  We are planning to water every day, at least, while everything is small.  If you would like to help out then put your name next to a day of the week, for the coming week or as a regular thing, on this spreadsheet .

OK we are good to go .  Let's meet Sunday 30th August 10 AM to plant for Spring!  All welcome, feel free to bring something you would like to plant. We are thinking seeds or seedlings, of  vegetables or herbs  to share. We will also put in some small fencing on the day to help keep out balls, feet and paws.

 Today we choose a bed and prepared it for Spring planting.  We pooled resources and brought along what we had in terms of manure and worm farm spoils - it was great to see some little people getting involved :) Next step is putting up some fencing to discourage pets, balls and other tramplers, and planting some seeds, coming August 30th!

 So we would like to use the raised beds at Chelsea St playground for a communal community garden.  We had a meeting on August 2nd where we decided: To start a communal garden in the raised beds - something everyone can get involved in and help plant in, and share the spoils of.  If someone wants to request their own personal allotment that's cool but our working assumption is that it will be all communal and we will work out planting/maintenance at periodic meetings which all are welcome to. To apply for Council approval to have this recognised as a community garden.  This process could take as long as a year. In the meantime to go guerrilla and start working a bed anyway so we can plant Spring 2020.  This is a community endeavour and anyone who wants to get involved is more than welcome to.  All planning meetings and gardening activities are public and all are welcome to get involved.  They will be advertised in the garden, and updates will be commun...
