22.01.2022 A big thank you to the wonderful gardeners from the Darwin Backyard Plants group. What a lovely meeting at Frillys yesterday. Gardeners are such generous folk and some of the plants from the swap table will be finding a new home in our garden. It was lovely to introduce many of you to the garden. Community gardens are a fantastic resource and places to meet others with the same interests.... We hope you will all drop by again. See more

06.01.2022 Communal Gardening - Friday August 21 Join us at the garden to do some dry season pruning; a good time to cut back trees before the humidy climbs & plants burst into new growth. We will be cutting back our leggy citrus trees and harvesting bamboo. Join us from 5pm this Friday. With a bit of luck we'll reward ourselves with the most delicious locally grown pineapple after our labours! All welcome

03.01.2022 MANGO MADNESS. Our Garden to Plate cooking event is on Friday the 2 Nd of October from 5.30 pm. Our featured produce is the beautiful Mango. We will be making a casserole, a salsa and finding ways to use green mangoes. All are welcome. ... Bring a plate to share ( doesn’t have to be with Mango in it but would be great to have dishes made with local produce) or make a donation to our garden fund. Come and learn about what can be grown in The Wet and check out our beautiful garden before dinner. Hope to see you then. See more

Hope to see you all there so we can show what a vibrant, wonderful community we have attending the NUC. Regards,... Lia Gill See more
