Our winter art exhibition is coming up in a couple of weeks. Artists … you can still join in. Register on our website. Local friends … pop past on opening night to help us celebrate 🎉 or over the weekend to check out the talent in our neighbourhood … and perhaps buy some art!

We’ve got our beans (perhaps a little late because of the tomatoes that had a second run …) and our leafy green pak choy and some marigolds grown from seed in the garden and they’re doing their thing slowly … and on Friday Theresa worked on potting up some cuttings from Clare’s garden … salvias and other flowers 🌺 to bring some pops of colour to our fenceline and garden.

And then after morning tea Corrado and Max kindly stuck around and we started up the (previously checked and safe) donated chainsaw (what a generous neighbourhood we live in) for a heavy duty (and hard work) pruning process - the fruit trees 🌳 on the eastern fence … (we all needed to head home for a nap afterwards!). They’ve now had part one of their two part planned haircut … we’ve tackled the width, next time we’ll lop off the top … to make sure we can reach the fruit 🍎 they produce. It’s just amazing how much they grow each year!

Also … did you see our compost on Instagram last week? It’s teeming with life. Thanks neighbours who contribute scraps … it really is looking amazing!

If you are interested in gardening and chatting to nice people and contributing to our neighbourhood come along from 10am on Fridays. We’re back after the school holidays!

Derek’s key hook project is complete! Just in time for the school holiday break … ACC will be closed for two weeks.

Our new program will be out Monday and we’ll be taking bookings from Wednesday for next term. We’ve got some great things coming up including Women in the Shed for term 3 and 4, Cultural Cooking with Manu, stitching sessions with Serene …and more.

We’ll be back on deck on Monday 11 July. See you then! Happy mid year holidays.

Thanks Lee. Our very chatty table is now out on the corner. Next time you’re meeting up with someone and are not sure what to talk about or where to go … pop past ACC … our table might be the perfect place!

We were a bit sad to see that someone had damaged our seed library a few weeks ago … but super pleased to have Corrado and Max on the job on Friday to cut some new Perspex and repair the door for us.

Thanks!
