12.01.2022 Great repurposing idea

12.01.2022 What a glorious morning We are so excited to bring you back the Swap and Shares ! Thank you for everyone for making this a special time

12.01.2022 Do you make your own compost at home? Pinjarra Conmunity Garden has been taking and processing organic waste ( fruit, veg scraps) from local café Jarra Infusion and school for composting. Thanks to the Waste Authority of Western Australia for the grant we were able to increase our capacity by processing the food into smaller chunks. And this is how we do it ... ~ Nationally, more than 5 million tonnes of food ends up in landfill, the equivalent to 9000 Olympic pools. Food waste makes up about 30 per cent of a household's bin and up to 90 per cent of the waste generated by commercial food businesses.

12.01.2022 Plant Of the Month BROMELIADS Various types and sizes for sale ! $4 to $20 Garden open Fridays and Saturdays 9am to 12 noon. Lots of other plants for sale too so come and grab a bargain!

11.01.2022 Its time for a bonfire at the community garden again. Put Saturday 20 June at 5pm in your diary and come out for a great night. BYO food and drinks. Our toilets are operational as is the power so you will have all the comforts! Personal distancing, cleanliness and sign in will apply but we have plenty of space. Come down and check out all the growth that has been happening. ... Look forward to seeing you on the 20th. See more

11.01.2022 Tune in now for Costa Georgiadis virtual tour and please take a moment to fill out the survey !

11.01.2022 Lovely sunny spring morning to enjoy with some fellow gardeners ! We love this time of year

10.01.2022 Free online event on how to grow veggies in our poor sandy soils ! Hosted by Grow It Local

09.01.2022 Closed borders. Biosecurity. Always contentious. I just spotted this photo on a US gardening site. It's a fungal disease called 'Corn Smut' - which is one o...f the reasons that corn seed is so difficult to get hold of in WA; we're trying to keep this disease out. So please - do the right thing. Don't try to bring in plant material. Listen to the experts that are trying to protect industries and livelihoods in our state. Stay safe, WA (and wash your hands!!) See more

08.01.2022 Some more photos from last nights bonfire courtesy of Bev. The lighting on the building makes a great backdrop.

02.01.2022 A massive thank you to Gerard English and his Alcoa team for a fantastic effort today. They turned a pile of mulch into a well covered area around our building which should be weed free for a while to come and moved a pile of fill to level off the areas for water tanks in the future. You were great to work with and looking forward to seeing you all here again.
