Probus Group visit

About 25-30 members of the Probus Group visited the Garden on the morning of 8th March, Wednesday.

They were interested in seeing first-hand how a community garden operates, our 40 years’ history, sustainable organic gardening practices and our future development.

Wen welcomed the group and showed them around. The group was amazed to see the diversity of our flowers and vegetables.
Our plotholders helped to put the hose away from the footpath so the senior Probus members can avoid injury.

Special thanks for their generous donation to the Garden! This fund will help with the Garden’s future development.
