25.01.2022 Last week I had some great feedback about rebuilding the PCG indigenous garden area and I see some great things happening there. So while on a positive note I am thinking I might seek your support for rebuilding, updating, making more useful our PCG WEBSITE. If this is an area you love and you are passionate about all things internet we could sure use some help. Contact Wayne Barrett 0419351558.

03.01.2022 Just another perfect day at PCG. The Grow Dig volunteers headed by our very own Brooke King spent time this afternoon planting out raised plots in the Urban Farm. I love Portland and the amazing people who make things happen. Darcy and Eden King also harvest about 1000 compost worms for the Portland North School.

03.01.2022 A strong community is made of many parts and today the PCG was dotted with volunteers all over the garden space with activities planting and planning and potting up. One solitary volunteer was also in our workshop. Len Marshall pictured rebuilding a small trailer donated by the McFarlane clan. We have a Mig Welder donated by retired fisherman John Sealey which needed some serious adjustments this morning. When you need help with all things metal you call Jamie Yappa Pridham. Yappa got us up and running. So you can see there is a lot going on at PCG and gardening as well. 81 Henty Street Portland. Come down and see how it all works.

02.01.2022 SUFM came to the PCG today and they were awesome. Scripture Union Family Mission are a group of young people who simply offered to help the CG with clearing Ivy from along Henty Street entrance ready for planting indigenous trees and shrubs. Anyone who has ever tried pulling up Ivy from the ground and 2 metres up in the existing trees knows how tough it is. These guys just blitzed it and talked and laughed all afternoon. Dale, Lily, Emma, Lauren, Scarlett, Alen, Nathan you were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Really shows off the work that went into fitting a square bird net over a curved orchard layout. The urban farm is ready for spring with new raised beds. Well worth a drive through if you have not visited for a while.

We are inching closer to our goal thanks to a very supportive community. Portland and our community garden is a great place to live, work and play. Thank also to Len Marshall a volunteer who makes it happen everyday.
