Ringwood Community Gardens

.

On 31st Of January Northcote Community Gardeners visited Ringwood Community Gardens on their Open Day. We we extremely impressed as well as very envious of the large size of their individual plots( 3 meters X 10 meters), the number of their plots 100 in total as well as their surroundings .. adjacent to J.W. Manson Reserve..

We were also very chuffed to see Trevor, a committee member of Ringwood Community Gardens, wearing one of Rebecca's Tshirts..which comes from the RedBubble NCG site..He also told us that one of the Gardening Australia presenters inquired about it..

All in all we were very glad to have visited..

New cover for calendar..

I changed the cover of our 2010 calendar after recieving a copy today- the carrots blown up huge are a little overwhelming! So we've got a nice cabbage instead.

New Calendar for 2010....

I've ordered a copy of our new calendar now available for purchase on Red Bubble, so in a few weeks anyone who is interested can check it out in the flesh (so to speak) at the gardens.

Working Bee October 2009

.
The Sun came out and drew us into its bosom..Good food, actually scrumptious food, a memorable dip from Roz and a memorable cake from Christine, crusty bread and more dips from Rebecca, choc biscuits from Peter.....Good company, good conversation. What else does one need on a Sunny Spring Afternoon...Work??? well actually we did come to a definite resolution regarding the Big Pond (nothing to do with Telstra) and Chris and Peter were later seen scribbling plans on the blackboard..and there was talk of sleepers, decking etc...frogs, fish, vanilla pods, saffron, biodynamic brown rice....and Christine is going to make a compost 'tea' from nettle for her garden while Rebecca was going home to brew nettle tea/soup...and Marijka is ecstatic to keep on growing it...despite strange looks and comments :-) from some unbeleivers.
