This month's HLPG gathering will be an informal one which will allow
people to choose their level of involvement. Primarily, it will be very
social - a chance to get together and debrief after our visit to the
Franzinelli's ( I know a few people took away some ideas to implement
into their own space - we've love to hear about them!), and to share and
swap seeds and cuttings.
In addition however, if you have some energy and goodwill to spare, we'd
like to do a micro busybee at the venue. This is something we'd like to
do every so often to help people within our group who might need some
inspiration, motivation etc. So if you have a project that feels
a bit beyond you, let us know! We'd also like to hear from people who
would be happy for us to have a sticky beak at their gardens and share
their ideas and experience.
To this end, this months' gathering will be at the home of one of our very own members, Kristy-Lee.
Like many of us, Kristy-Lee has been wanting to put some plans into
action for a while, but has felt overwhelmed by the enormity of the
task. Her property, while absolutely beautiful, has its fair share of
challenges not least of which is a steep incline and many, many rocks.
To help her in her endeavour we thought the gathering might be an
opportunity to make use of many hands and complete a few simple tasks to
get her started on a small kitchen garden. This would involve moving a
bit of mulch, carting a few rocks and perhaps building a small stone
wall. Nothing onerous but it just needs a few helping hands.
If you feel inclined to help, we'd appreciate the loan of some buckets
(to cart the mulch - as you can't get a wheelbarrow up the hill) and
some cardboard to lay on the ground.
Elizabeth will be emailing those of you on the mailing list to give you
the address. If you aren't on the list and would like to come please
email Nathalie at cwmgoch@iprimus.com.au
Don't forget a plate to share if you can, and any seeds/seedlings you'd like to give or swap.
Looking forward to catching up with you all.
