Council Plan of proposed community garden

Well here we are – at last!!!! The council has finally adopted the Management Plan for the Mullumbimby Sporting Fields which includes a 5 acre site for the Mullumbimby Community Garden. YIP YIP YAHOO!!!!

So after 2 years of talking and sharing and visioning its time to go for it. And there’s a lot to get excited about.

Saturday 19th July is the third Saturday of the month and Mullum market day so we will be at the garden from 10am til 3 pm for our monthly Family Day making compost, gardening, working out how to erect a shed, designing a notice board and generally getting the garden moving ahead. Children are welcome. Bring a picnic lunch. Our monthly general meeting will be held in the meeting circle between 1-2pm.

The next item to mark into your calendar is Saturday August 16th 2008 as our Mullumbimby Community Garden Opening Celebration. Details are yet to be finalised but at this stage it will be 10 – 3 as usual with the official opening around 1ish. Various activities are being offered by a wonderful array of singers and performers, bush walks, compost displays, kids activities, food and refreshments. If you can volunteer your services on the day please contact me. Any ideas for activities or even an offer to make thecups of tea on the day would be welcomed. It will be a great day.
