On her return from
overseas Ms Tagalong was very excited about reacquainting herself with
Warners Bay Community Garden and viewing their new abode.
Alack and alas, her
recent queries discovered that nary a sod has yet been turned. They
have a banner. They have volunteers. They have the know-how. What
they don't have yet is a garden.
'We do have approval
from the council,' said Ian cheerfully, as Ms Tagalong purchased
coriander and mizuma seedlings happily wrapped in newspaper pots.
The prominent stall at the recent Farmer's Market at Speers Point was
bulging with seedlings, worm wee and volunteers.
How active, how busy
and devoted the group are. Four and a half years in the making and
still counting until they sow their first seed in the selected Cherry
Road spot.
How smug did Ms
Tagalong feel? Thankfully she decided not to gloat about how guerilla
gardens are the way to go.
No approval needed, just find an unused
plot, gather a few extremely keen gardeners, appropriate the land and
start growing!
Which is your favourite photo or idea that could be incorporated into a local community garden?
It's great to have some feedback, so please leave me some comments.
