  • There will be two main goals for this Working Bee;
    1 - Weeding the pathways before spreadng a fresh load of Tan-bark mulch (to be confirmed). 

    2 -  Whipper snippering the external grass around the perimeter fence to aid with weeding and reduce weeds/grass
    encroachment. 

  • Other working bee goals include;
    - Prune the fruit trees on near the toilet block
    - Pull-back the passionfruit vine across the ‘roof’ area of the pergola before the growing season
    - Feed the citrus trees both internally and externally in the fruit forest area
    - Prune the large rosemary bush. We will aim to cut this in a way that any rosemary not required by garden members can be donated as part of ‘food recovery’ programs
    - Re-weed the main entrance garden bed
    - Continue to maintain the raised garden beds and tubs in preparation for spring planting
    - General member plot 1 maintenance and tidy up – specifically the strawberry planting
    - Finish pruning the ornamental flowing shrubs adjacent to the compost bins near the main entrance
    - Selectively hand-weed to Asian garden – the green manure will be dug-in during the August working bee
