Dunolly Community Garden News

By Liz Spiteri

This week the Community Garden had two days of ac vi es. Due to the hot weather forecasted for Thursday a ernoon we decided to have an early ‘meet-up’.

Anna was busily working away when Michael & I arrived Between the three of us, tomatoes were harvested, gardens were watered, damaged fruit collected and disposed of, as well as a small amount of weeding

Because we were planning our stall for the Dunolly Country Market, I spent me packaging up seeds while Anna worked on the cupboards Shortly before we were ready to pack up for the morning, Rick arrived, so he died up the edges of the walkway with his trimmer

On Sunday we had our stall at the market! Veronica, Lisa and I looked a er the stall and met so many lovely community members. We very much enjoyed cha ng with everyone and hearing about how they are using the share table to drop off their excess harvests or how they jump at the chance to get some lovely fresh tomatoes, plums etc, these

We will now have to find some more spaces for the children’s books So come along Dunolly and district families and take a wonderful selec on from our book sec on that will stop “The I’m Sooo bored, I’ve got nothing to do” Syndrome in its tracks Help us to help you open up the wonderful horizons which literature can bring to us.

stories made our hearts sing! Obviously the Share Table is a ‘give and take’, we need people to share their home harvests, and we love people to take what they need, even if they are unable to gi back to our Share Table.
