CRISIS GARDENING: Free Weekly Live Videos – starting this Monday 23rd, 1pm AEST on Facebook Live.
You and me in my garden every week for 30 minutes or so where I’ll show you skills in how to transform your home into a resilient, productive powerhouse.
**Video # 1 will be “Fresh Food Fast: How to grow veggies you can eat in 8 weeks.”**
Because right now one of the most sensible things we can do is use the land we have to produce the food we need. It will save you money, feed your household and give you and your loved ones the resilience you need right now.
Tune in on Monday 1pm AEST and send in your questions – we’ll answer them live (or shortly after). Can't make that time? Fear not, you'll be able to watch it anytime on FB, our website and Youtube and probs Instagram too :-).
This is our way of providing you with meaningful hands on support while being hands off – together, yet apart. We love you.
Our little free street library has been curated and now contains various seed packets. Come and grab a book, leave a book (if you can) and take some seeds for your garden...
Lovely, thanks! Can we leave seeds there for others?
So good. Have plenty of books to provide. Thankyou

Preparedness has always been at the heart of permaculture design and thinking. Personal, emotional, and community resilience are all essential, and you can start today.Hello Gardeners
Okines Community Garden will be postponing operations of all programs/events and activities including meeting. We are looking at postponing activities until 27th April, however we are monitoring the situation on a weekly basis.
Staff will still be on site for the time being, but again this will be monitored on a weekly basis. Volunteers are also welcome on site but are asked to follow safety guidelines around social distancing and hand washing procedures.
Thank you all for a most wonderful evening with Women who Farm! Informative, inspirational and empowering. Special thanks for Nadia Danti, Kate Filed and Bec Kelley for some great discussion. And to all those who came and participated and inspired conversation.
