Southlands Community Garden
The garden will provide a growing space, for food and flowers for Planet Food (part of the Junk food project) which serves over a hundred people weekly at their cafe, as well as selling waste food. The space will also be used by our artists in residence, for workshops, and will be open to the public to rest and enjoy. Finally it will be used by the church for its activities. We have reclaimed a piece of wasteland at the side of the church to develop the garden, but because of covid the beds became too overgrown to plant - so we need help to clear, to plant.
Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.
COVID stalled our garden planting, and in the interim the beds that were cleared have become full of weeds. These have been sprayed off, and the beds now need clearing completely, by digging over, the weeds/plants in situ removing so we can plant some, and cover others with weed control fabric.
