CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY

2/8/2010

I have registered us for clean up day again on May 23 from 9am. We even have a web page http://www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au/Banksia+Grove where you can register as a volunteer.

So mark it in your diaries and we would love to see as many people as possible get together to clean up Banksia Grove.

Even if you can't make it on the day you can still grab a bag and just clean up your street and together we can make a difference. We will put on a lunch again to thank all our fabulous volunteers.

Community Garden meeting for interested residents

Just a reminder the Pod group is getting together to begin preparing the plans for our community garden.
We are meeting on Wednesday the 10th at 10am at 16 Frond Circuit.
Also Sunday Feb 21 at 2.30 pm at the Banksia Grove Centre on Grasstree bend.

If you can't make it to the meetings we would still welcome residents feedback on the following points and any other points or concerns you would like to raise.

Options for fencing - to fence or not to fence!
How to create the project in a way that is sustainable - veggie gardens can use a lot of water if they are not planned well!
The possibility of using part of the area for plant propagation to re-plant local plants from the seeds collected prior to land being cleared for development
How to provide for disability access
Level of interest in allotments - family owned plots and how to do this
Training links - what training do we need and what groups can we access for training.

We want to involve as many people in the community in the planning stages so that it is truly a community garden - please contact us to share your comments and thoughts as the working group put together our submission to get the project started.
Contact Hannah Baker on ph 9405 8847
