24.01.2022 We hope that with the lockdown restrictions easing, community activities may be allowed to resume in the near future In the meantime we have had a small team of members visiting the garden (just 1 or 2 people at a time) to keep things ticking over. They have been weeding, preparing garden beds, mulching and watering. Give them a wave if you are walking by.

24.01.2022 It’s magpie nesting season, please read the attached info to protect your local natives and how to avoid being swooped. Remember, magpies only swoop to protect their babies at great risk to themselves and only at perceived threats. We have had a family of magpies in the community garden for years that just hop around hunting insects and curiously watching us. They are never aggressive because we pose no threat to them. ... If you have a swooper; Don’t wave your arms or put up an umbrella Wear a hat & sunglasses Try to take a different route for the next 6 weeks Walk in groups rather than alone Be calm, don’t run, scream or throw objects at the bird it will only make you look more threatening to the bird

21.01.2022 The market is on at the Hub today from 8am!

19.01.2022 It’s Volunteer Week and we want to give a big shout out to all our members Did you know that the community garden is entirely community run? Our members make all the decisions about what we do via our monthly meetings and all the gardening. It’s a real team effort. Often our members commit extra time organising and running events that enable funding for the garden or spend many hours working on construction projects. People often comment on what a wonderful community garden we have in Lalor Park and it is all due to our members who have created it. Thank you!

15.01.2022 So many reasons to grow your own food

15.01.2022 Huge thank you to the wonderful team at Bunnings Warehouse Australia Blacktown for their ongoing support over the years. Yesterday we were finally able to install a hot water system into our outdoor kitchen. This is such a timely gift that will enable us to ensure proper sanitation when we reopen the garden. Thank you!!

12.01.2022 Market day at the Lalor Park Hub this Saturday! They are also running a Christmas twilight market on Friday 11 Dec 2pm-7pm

11.01.2022 Our local op shop, Threads of Hope is turning 10! John and the team do some wonderful work for those in need in our community. They are now accepting quality donations at the store so if you’ve been cleaning out your cupboards at home, drop them there. Keep in mind that if your items are in the condition that you would buy them then they are ok to donate. Join them this Saturday to celebrate their milestone with a sausage sizzle 10am-12pm

10.01.2022 Recycling can be a tricky thing with lots of tricky items. Our short video can help to make things a little easier when it comes to recycling at home. For the full verison of the video or for more information on your waste services please see our website at https://bit.ly/3dVJE6o

07.01.2022 A helpful video from Self Sufficient Me. See his channel on YouTube for other gardening and self sufficiency videos. I hope you find them as interesting and entertaining as I do.

01.01.2022 So we’ve been doing this community garden thing for a while... This was a council event we participated in at Plumpton in 2011. We did so many of these community events in our early days, garnering interest in growing your own food and drawing in like minded people to join us. It was really hard work but so rewarding and now 10yrs later the community garden has far exceeded any expectations we had back then.
