New Garden Beds for the Community Centre

Hello to all the keen gardeners at Paluma and surrounds!

I have been eyeballing some of our lovely gardens on my journey thru the village and I am sure that some of you do not seem to have much space left to grow anymore plants.

So, have you run out of room in your backyard to grow more plants but still want to satisfy your urge to garden?  Or do you have plants in pots that need a home?

If that is you, the PDCA has a project or two that would like the assistance of as many of the villagers’ green thumbs as possible.

The last issue of Turkey Talk mentioned that the PDCA has been quietly working behind the scenes on a plan or two to beautify some areas in the village by creating new and enhancing existing garden spaces and roadside verges with a variety of plants that showcase Paluma’s unique climate and environment. The first project is to beautify the area around the Community Hall.

A subcommittee has been set up (Jamie and myself) to get this project up and running. We are now seeking the village gardening gurus to come along to share their knowledge and thoughts as this is a community project that needs to reflect the ideas of all in the village not just those on the executive.

We would like to invite all interested to an information session on Saturday 14^th March 10.00am (morning tea time) at the Hall.

Over a quick cuppa  we can discuss the locations of the garden beds, what types of plants will be suitable for each area, what input is required from volunteers etc.

Please bring a little morning tea to share –tea and coffee will be supplied!

Finally, do bring some gardening gloves as we may pot up  some small plants into larger pots. We will finish by 12 noon!

See you there!
