Upcoming Events
Wednesday, 15 Feb. Planning Meeting for “Bag It” film night. 5:00 pm at the BEC.
Dates coming soon for camps and bushwalks – keep checking back!
hey all, lots on in the great outdoors this coming Sunday. The EYE Bushwalking Group is making another attempt to climb McGraths Hump……. and our monthly EYE Landcare Working Bee is on, meeting at The Point at 9:00 am. Let’s just hope it stops raining for the day!!
I bet you’re thinking, “when would all those hard working gardeners have a chance to even think about sitting down!” Luckily, amidst the buzz of garden-building activity, we have kept one eye on the importance of sitting, observing and relaxing…
Thanks to John for helping us learn new skills and create beautiful seating spaces for the garden.
Momentum continues to grow as new beds are planted out each week, we grow more seeds in our own little nursery and we redirect more waste away from landfill. Nice work with the food scraps Indigo!
Soil building was the name of the game today, with the mandala beds and the raised beds getting special treatment.
Following on from our compost building, we wanted to give the new garden beds some nurturing to boost the soil life and get our veggies ready for the start of spring. So we added seaweed, lime, fire-clay, chook manure, and plenty of mulch… Feed the soil and it will feed the plants!
Thanks to everyone who signed our petition at Trash2Treasure on Saturday night – now we just have 9,750 signatures to go! :)
Please send out our website link to everyone you know – asking them to sign our online petition – thank you.
And congratulations to Nina, an amazingly talented EYE girl, who won second place at Trash2Treasure with her amazing Emu costume made entirely out of packaging, paper, and soda cans – you go girl! (and our girl Rose looked mighty fine modeling too!)
Wow, what an amazing way to introduce the community to our wonderful garden!
Thanks to everyone for your hard work. We had so many people come together to make this day such a success. Thanks to the sourdough pizza-base trainees for showing off their new skills, the musos & sound volunteers, the fire nurturers & guardians, the cooks, garden guides, the visitors for bringing the vibe, the young kids for their endless energy (and amazing ability to stay on the garden paths!) and the rain for holding off!
