From the garden

The last of our inclusive gardening tables has arrived! The four multi-level tables make it possible to garden while standing or sitting. The latest was planted out by School Plus students, who put in lettuce for the tuckshop and some marigold flowers too. Thank you to our excellent craftsman, Chad Albinger, who you can see working on them in the photos. As one community member exclaimed, “They are objects of art!” We tend to agree. The tables were funded by the P&C and the Brisbane City Council’s Cultivating Community Gardens Grant. They are a fabulous addition to Little Patch. In other news, blackboard take overs are happening regularly this week… join in during the Gardenlife before-school program or have a look at the poems and pictures when you’re walking by.



School Plus students and parent volunteer Carolina Puleston recently helped the P&C’s Habitat Group scope out and start the school’s new Digging Place! The kids helped us pilot the tools, the rules, and how to have a fun time in this hands-on play space next to the oval. Their feedback was much appreciated. More updates on the way as this good idea keeps growing.
