Significant progress has been made behind the scenes to launch our community garden. We recently met with Jeff McClintoff from UTAS to discuss our plans, and he is currently working on some designs for us. We have received a fencing quote, and since our chosen site features two brick walls, it will not only offer excellent wind protection but it means we only have to fence two sides. Additionally, a contractor will be coming out next week to provide a quote for leveling the ground.

We also attended the Tamar NRM community autumn garden gathering at the Heritage Forest Community Garden, where we gained valuable insights and support. Over the next month, we anticipate that some structural work will commence. We will keep you updated on our progress, and we extend our gratitude to those who have already volunteered!
