As arranged at our last gathering on 5th April, we have planned a trip to 'Veggie Village' atPeregian Beach for Sunday 19th April, meeting at Bek's house at 9am prompt to arrange car pooling for the trip up.
It should take about an hour to get up there and we will be met by a Veggie Village local to show us around, etc.
Bring along some morning Tea/lunch and refreshments as we're not sure how long we'll stay.
It promises to be a great insight into how to establish and maintain a successful community garden, along with general gardening tips.
