At our recent Sustainability for Kids workshop, children learnt about the importance of the 3 R’s - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. They were shown how to make beeswax wraps and planters from recycled milk containers. Learning these skills will build their sense of optimism, confidence, enthusiasm and connection to make a positive difference to the world. #BethaniaStreetCommunityGarden #events #sustainability

Our recent Solar Cooking workshop was fully booked, with 12 participants making their own solar cooker to take home and enjoying a cuppa and cake, both made using solar cookers. #BethaniaStreetCommunityGarden #events #solarcooking

Despite very inclement weather, our recent Harvest Share saw about 30 people swapping some delicious produce. Members of the Graceville Community Garden committee visited for a tour and to see how Harvest Share works. They were impressed with our garden. Thanks to Soraya and Jenny N for being the official "tour guides". #HarvestShare #gardenvisit #events #BethaniaStreetCommunityGarden

A lovely sunny day saw a group of very creative folk learn the art of lino print making with local artist Megan Forward. Inspiration for our print designs were taken from the garden, and we all went home absolutely delighted with what we had created. #events #artinthegarden #MeganForward

Our playgroup and events program are amazing community facilities that our garden has provided for the last five years. We need new volunteer Playgroup and Events Coordinators to keep these integral activities going at the garden. Without volunteers to take on these rewarding and fulfilling roles, playgroup will finish at the end of February and events will not continue after 2017. We also require a new volunteer Committee Member to assist with the smooth running of the garde
