25.01.2022 OUR AUCTION ENDS IN JUST UNDER 2 HOURS Have you got your bids in? Please dont forget to have a read of the auction rules and guidelines before placing your bids ... Happy bidding!



24.01.2022 Where would community groups be without support from businesses? For SABGR it means we can deliver on our promises; to revegetate, rejuvenate and revive fire scarred communities. To bring some color back into residents' lives. Over the years we've been blessed to have the backing of many businesses, whether it be for our Open Days, our fundraising efforts or online auctions. Today a big thanks to Neutrog who provided us with enormous support for the Cudlee Creek Open Day we held last Saturday.

23.01.2022 We have so many businesses to thank for their support in making the Cudlee Creek Open Day a massive success; but starting with Mount Barker District Council Commonwealth Bank Kiwanis International Kiwanis Club of Brighton Inc. #supergrateful #grantfunding #cudleecreekopenday #volunteersrock #gardentherapy #bushfirerecovery



23.01.2022 5 more sleeps til our CUDLEE CREEK OPEN DAY..... We can't wait to meet you all. If you haven't registered yet that's ok. We will be closing email registrations as of COB Tuesday 8th September as we can't guarantee we will be near technology as we put the finishing touches on the big event. If you have not requested your registration form or RSVPd by then you will need to text Michelle on 0400 598 508. See you all on the weekend

23.01.2022 Our favorite thing to do is support local businesses/community groups so today's shout out is to the Encounter Centre, Victor Harbor where we paid a visit yesterday & bought hundreds of their beautifully presented native plants & vegetable seedlings. The Encounter Centre was formed in 1974 and today it serves as a community based charity reliant on dedicated volunteers who help to run a variety of activities , in particular for those living with disability. Why don't you visi...t the Encounter Centre at 42 Armstrong Road where they have modern machinery in the wood workshop, a garden centre and large meeting rooms for hire? We think this is the closest charity on SA's mainland, to our Kangaroo Island bushfire affected residents, Rebekha Sharkie MPis the centre's Patron. The native plants and vegetable seedlings will be available for FREE for Cudlee Creek bushfire affected residents at our 2nd Open Day to be held on 4 October in Kersbrook. Not registered with us or RSVP'd for the Open Day?

21.01.2022 As half of the admin team are offline and traveling to Kersbrook today with HUGE loads of awesomeness we wanted to remind you to RSVP ASAP All of you who attended CC open day 1 know the catering was A.MA.Z.I.N.G by the Torrens Valley Lions Club. We want to ensure no one misses out on that This will be our last open day for 2020. DON'T MISS OUT!! You can Email your RSVP to [email protected]



21.01.2022 Any of our volunteers, sponsors, donors and fire affected residents know that we go on a lot about how important gardening is for children after the trauma of bushfire. We love to cater for the kids at our Open Days. As a parent, there is nothing better than your child/children joining you in the garden - getting their hands dirty as well as you. Surveys of children whose schools have after-hours gardening programs illuminate how beneficial gardening can be for individual nut...rition. Teachers at schools with these programs can utilize the garden in developing health and nutrition curriculum. A 2019 study of fourth grade classrooms with after-school gardening programs provides a great example. In the study, teachers reported the eating habits of their students had improved with regular access to their school’s garden. Principals reported a nearly two-fold increase in use of the cafeteria salad bar by students. The students also illuminated the health benefits of the school garden in their personal nutrition. Fourth graders were surveyed before and after the incorporation of the school garden into the curriculum. They answered two yes/no questions: I eat vegetables every day, and I am physically active every day. There was a significant increase in the proportion of students answering affirmatively after participating in the gardening program. AND HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!

21.01.2022 I couldn’t say no I heard them say buy me

18.01.2022 What a fantastic Open Day we had for the Cudlee Creek residents yesterday - beautiful weather, lovely people and lots of FREE garden plants & hardware given away. As promised, announcing the door prize!! Graham Turner (from WEEDTECH) generously donated a 15 litre heavy duty back pack sprayer and an anonymous volunteer donated a $50 Ultimate Gift Card For Her. Graham worked feverishly yesterday helping residents everywhere! Picked randomly was number 52 - Aylwen Dennis & Luke Jones from Lobethal. Could you phone Michelle on 0400 598 508 to arrange collection of your prize. Congratulations to you both (Weedtech are offering 20% off their services for residents)



18.01.2022 Absolutely amazing how the regrowth appears everywhere in KI’s bushfire scarred areas

18.01.2022 Among all the shopping today I stopped to take some photos of plants I know we have had donated throughout the year. They are generally donated in multiples or for aggies maybe by the trailer load. I took these photos to just show how much one plant costs. What we do here is to bring together hundreds into the thousands of plants, all donated with the intention they will help someone affected by bushfire to rebuild or start the rebuild process of their home gardens. Bringi...ng colour, love and life back with a huge dose of garden therapy We are grateful for one plant but just think...... a trailer load of aggies or iris could end up being valued in the hundreds or thousands. Each donation. What you have all helped us to achieve is simply INCREDIBLE!!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. Together we could save families hundreds or thousands of dollars. Money they can use to rebuild another part of their home or garden. We have THE BEST gardening community

17.01.2022 Nothing like supporting local businesses within a fire scarred zone Lobethal Fodder Store We loved shopping there for the Cudlee Creek Open Day - fresh seedlings, great owners - why not take a visit?

(the hamburgers were yummy) - Kersbrook Primary School - for the endless supply of tables and chairs. - Gumeracha Men's Shed (materials supplied by Coopers Farm Supplies and Paul & Michelle Ed...wards) - for making so many beautiful bird feeders for the bushfire affected residents. You did a wonderful job! We are very grateful to each and every one of you!!

05.01.2022 Continuing on with our thanks to businesses that continuously support SABGR for our Open Days for bushfire affected residents.... A big thank you to Aborgreen Landscape Products for their donation of tree guards and stakes to our Cudlee Creek Open Day held last Saturday. https://www.arborgreen.com.au/

05.01.2022 Just before I head to bed..... I want to say an insanely huge thank you to our volunteers, donors and growers!!!! Without you SABGR would just be a random idea from some girl from the burbs of Adelaide. Thank you all for everything you have done so far this year. I am eternally grateful and I know families will remember what you have done for years to come Bring on OPEN DAY #7 #gardentherapycentral

05.01.2022 With just one sleep left to our CUDLEE CREEK OPEN DAY we want to remind everyone that emails are closed. We have been offline mostly over the last few days. Any queries can be sent to Kristy by text on 0413 565 469. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Don't forget your umbrella (Just incase) and your sack truck if you have one as parking will be away from plant areas. See you in the morning!!!

04.01.2022 A big shout of thanks to Unley Gardener's Plant Rescue (UGPR) for their extremely generous donation of $3,000 to SABGR and a $50 voucher per family that attended our Cudlee Creek Open Day last Saturday; for $50 towards the purchase of plants for free from their garden plot. Their prices are extremely reasonable!! UGPR's purpose is to rescue gardens and plants that may otherwise end up as garden waste which is part of what our group's volunteers do...... so we think that is aw...esome!! UGPR repot plants and nurture them, then have sale days which are very popular. Funds from these sales are then distributed to charities, voted on by the group. The group has been together for many years and has raised in the vicinity of $70,000 which has helped many many charities. UGPR decided after the bushfires that they needed to help bushfire gardeners with some of their fundraising this year. UGPR are holding a special open day specifically for registered fire affected families that have a voucher - (due to COVID bookings are essential - for families with vouchers; please see your voucher for further details). Why don't you check out UGPR's Facebook page and take a visit to support their wonderful community spirit? https://www.facebook.com/Unley-Gardeners-Plant-Rescue-410026472492996/

03.01.2022 One week ago we were in stunning Kersbrook Here is a message from Dave one of our open day hosts To all who came to the SABGR Open Day, thank you for making it so wonderful. Thank you for your stories and for your bravery in sharing with a stranger. I wasn't able to speak to everyone but I was touched by those who I did speak to.... For those I missed, I wanted to share our story with you too. 5 years ago Samson Flat visited our community. Everyone on our road has their own story. Our house and shedding was not impacted but all our paddocks and fences were affected. The woodlot you all walked past from the gate was burnt-out. It is now 5 years on and I wanted to try and provide some comfort to you and let you know that it does get better. The weeds are stopping your soil from washing away. The green grass will grow and replace the black dust. The trees may regenerate, or new ones can be grown. That smell will go. Some scars will remain. You will, in time, learn how to deal with them. It's ok to get help. I wish I did sooner. Garden Therapy. What a powerful concept. New life. Maybe there's a good reason the words Nature and Nurture are so similar. I hope you can find what you need to stay strong. Your combined story is immensely moving and I hope our efforts help to ease your pain a little. Please know that it gets better. Stay strong and thank you for your stories. David Broderick.

03.01.2022 Open Day #7.... our Cudlee Creek Open Day was held yesterday in beautiful Kersbrook. It was an incredible day with over 230 people through the gates. WOW!! We had maximum capacity for around 4 hours which was just amazing.

01.01.2022 WOW..... the first day of plant sales in our Meningie collection point has gone amazingly well. A huge thanks to Marianne and her amazing team of volunteers. Never in a million years could I have ever foreseen having collection points from the Lower Eyre Peninsula to Meningie. I am so incredibly grateful to every person that has taken our vision, made it their own and smashed it out of the ball park. Gardeners are the best kinda humans
