25.01.2022 What a great idea... in combination with trying to slow the destruction of existing forests.

24.01.2022 These have been found in Australia?????

24.01.2022 I had no idea that chia seeds were from Salvia!

24.01.2022 What a great idea!

24.01.2022 Meeting this Sunday!!!! (26/7) But not like our pre-COVID meetings... Physical distancing + BYO morning tea and hand sanitiser.

22.01.2022 Meeting tomorrow - don’t forget to BYO morning tea!

21.01.2022 If you’re local and looking to supplement your own freshly grown goodies...

20.01.2022 Im looking forward to trying these... Thanks to one of our member for sharing! https://goodlifepermaculture.com.au/make-poor-man-capers/

20.01.2022 I think the copper tape is a great tip!

20.01.2022 How talented is our Ashley... what a beautiful, hand-crafted card!

19.01.2022 Not youre average BBQ. Fish and corn done like I have never seen before!

19.01.2022 Lots of mulch arrived yesterday, and super-engineers Tony and Lin master the ‘Meccano’ tables. Progress!

19.01.2022 Love this idea! So easy to wash the soil off before taking them into the house.

18.01.2022 Keep your eyes open for our new street library - still a work in progress, but coming along beautifully!

18.01.2022 I would definitely be interested in this!

17.01.2022 How delightful! We could use some of these to stop the bush turkeys!

16.01.2022 Today’s meeting reminded me of how lucky we all are to be part of a wonderful community. Together we are more than the sum of our parts - each bringing a unique gift to the RCG and taking away food, friendship and community. Just as it should be.

16.01.2022 The very knowledgeable, Helen, has a new book coming soon!

16.01.2022 If you dont grow all of your own, these guys are the bomb! Supporting local is a real bonus!

16.01.2022 If you were thinking of composting, or adding to your composting arsenal, at home - this is worth doing! Thanks BCC

15.01.2022 Anyone keen to participate in a citizen science project on frogs? Check out the museums frog ID app and help track how our native frog populations are going. https://australian.museum/learn/animals/frogs/

15.01.2022 Got some burning questions regarding our swooping, winged friends?

15.01.2022 Did you know there are purple and yellow varieties of dragon fruit?? Apparently, the yellow variety is the rarest and the sweetest!! (Photos from Wikimedia Commons)

14.01.2022 We need these beauties...

14.01.2022 Impressive body of work, and for all the right reasons. https://www.abc.net.au//food-plant-solutions-maln/12580732

13.01.2022 Trailblazers! https://www.brainpickings.org//harriet-helena-scott-butt/

13.01.2022 Although the meeting was cancelled, several members came together on Sunday to accomplish the mega-task of netting the mulberry trees. Is it Spider-Man, I hear you ask? No, its Bruce with a super-net! Thanks to Bruce, Ashley, Kurt, Paul, Simon and Victoria. Well done!

13.01.2022 Come and celebrate garden life, friendship, community, and the fantastic thing that is our new shelter! Official opening tomorrow morning.

13.01.2022 I wasn’t able to be there, but I believe our first-in-a-long-time meeting went fabulously well, and here are the photos to prove it!

13.01.2022 At Saturday’s meeting Paul asked if anyone knew the reason why some zucchinis grow squat instead of long and slim. Google told us that uneven pollination causes them to grow in unusual shapes. Fascinating! Here are some members of Paul’s super-sized crop!

12.01.2022 You really can grow food in the tiniest of spaces!

12.01.2022 *****Drumroll***** Feels like forever since our last, but get ready, meeting scheduled for Sunday! COVID safe, of course. No shared morning tea - BYO only.

12.01.2022 What a beautiful Spring day in the garden. I havent been down for a while - what a treat!!! Everything is looking fabulous (a tad weedy on the paths - hint, hint) but most plots are looking lush and productive. I cant wait until meetings are a happening thing - looking forward to catching up with everyone and meeting our newest members.

11.01.2022 What a shot! Fly-wing sunglasses

11.01.2022 So pretty... https://returntonow.net//heres-how-bees-and-butterflies-/

10.01.2022 The power of plants! This is gorgeous...

10.01.2022 Did you see this story last night? It was a cracker!

10.01.2022 Another fabulous BCC online event... https://fb.me/e/1KSPRsamL

10.01.2022 If you are after local and fresh, and don’t grow these things yourself...

09.01.2022 Backyard Bird Count is on again in less than one week! If you don’t do it for the love of birds, and the love of citizen science, do it for the prizes!!!! They have some killer giveaways this year! https://aussiebirdcount.org.au/

09.01.2022 Must be time for more art in the garden? 2021?

07.01.2022 Might try some of these in the plot... https://pipmagazine.com.au/grow/bush-tucker/

07.01.2022 Congratulations to our lovely Izzy - what a superstar!

07.01.2022 Wow! https://www.facebook.com/gardeningaustralia/videos/1539938062882446/

07.01.2022 What a celebration! Cr Sarah Hutton and Alie made it official! Thanks to Alie’s tireless efforts and Brisbane City Council we have a new shelter, sure to be the seat of many a wonderful (and weather-protected) event at the garden. RCG’s motto, where we grow food, friendships, and community just got even easier to fulfill. Thanks to all who came, and a big thank you to all who contributed to making the occasion a memorable one.

07.01.2022 This story was wonderful!

06.01.2022 Looks delicious!

06.01.2022 Not gardening related, but a very gorgeous repurposing idea... (I love old buttons!!)

06.01.2022 Another worthy citizen science project to get into...

05.01.2022 Native basil???

05.01.2022 The healing and medicinal components of plants has been vital to human existence since the dawn of time. From nourishment to skincare to metabolistic boosters - nature provides a solution for all! Join Clarence as he explores a jungle garden grown for healing, health and enjoyment.

05.01.2022 Oh dear, nobody told him the cafés inside

05.01.2022 I love this! What a great idea.

04.01.2022 We have our very own Nasturtium queen - the lovely Vanessa with her crown (helped by Alie ) - very worthy of the title!

04.01.2022 Australian Pollinator Week - as if we need another reason to celebrate these champions!

04.01.2022 I had no idea this was a thing...

04.01.2022 So much love for the copper saucepan and the bonsai in the suitcase - superb!

03.01.2022 We occasionally have visitors who find it difficult locating the garden within Rocks Riverside Park. Keep to the cliff side of the garden, not the river side, and keep walking along the road beneath the cliff face. For the visual amongst us, this is where we are...

03.01.2022 I think I might just give these spices a go! And the damper https://www.sbs.com.au//forget-sourdough-native-damper-bre

03.01.2022 Another big thank you to our lovely JHSS students. What fabulous hard workers you are! The garden is looking so much tidier now that youre on the job!

03.01.2022 This looks wonderful!

03.01.2022 Oh my! How beautiful!

01.01.2022 Free horticulture course, anyone?

01.01.2022 Spring has sprung in the garden - if your plot is looking awesome, dont forget the pathways. Lets all keep the weeds under control - they are super-charged by the spring weather! Thanks to Alie, who is a machine, both sheds are very clean and tidy, and so many other jobs taken care of without us needing to think about them.

01.01.2022 More fabulous photos from Sunday’s official opening event. A super-big thanks to the social squad responsible for co-ordinating the delicious food and fabulous entertainment!

01.01.2022 We have been begging for rain for so long, and boy did we get it! How fitting that our last meeting for the year be conducted at Rocks Riverside Park in the rain. Just a few photos for now...
