17.01.2022 Our beautiful community garden lit up with lanterns on Winterfest night last Saturday. It was a lovely clear night and were so happy to be a part of this winter celebration #nightgarden #communitygarden #lanterns #wintercelebration

16.01.2022 As 2019 draws to a close and we all think about our New Years resolutions for 2020, why not add getting your hands dirty to your resolution list?! Make a habit of popping by the Eastern Park Community Garden, behind Warragul Cty House, for a working bee and a cuppa each Tuesday or on the 1st Saturday of each month. Or just stop by anytime during the week and pull some weeds from our pathways and drop them in the compost bins! #newyearsresolutions #getdirty #communitygarden #w...orkingtogether #foodisfree Byron An Martha, Gail Smith, Yaeli Snaily

16.01.2022 Amazing time lapse from 2010, where someone started with a new NUC (nucleus hive) of 2000 bees and it grew to 30,000! The best part is they used only guiding top strips so you get to see the bees draw down and build natural comb! Our bees at Eastern Park Community Gardens work just as hard, both at producing honey and at pollinating our thriving garden to help keep our delicious fruits and veggies growing strong!... Look out for our hardworking hives behind the white screens in the gardens. Big thanks to Wasiak & Co for sharing. #growingtogether #beeappreciation #sweetrewards #pollinateorperish #beeware

15.01.2022 Please share! https://www.facebook.com/events/465560064074063/

14.01.2022 With all the shopping madness, we have put together a little guide to what is available in our garden at the moment and some ideas on how to use the produce. Just click on the Menu tab on the left column (for some people it may be above the posts) and it should appear! Any problems just message and we can send the pdf:)

13.01.2022 Some of you may be interested in this! It's an online survey through the Diggers' Club about gardening habits during Covid - takes about 10 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.

13.01.2022 Its garden day Have you got a spare couple of minutes or even a couple of hours you want to kill today? Come down to the eastern park community garden in Warragul and lend us a hand Anytime from 9:30am onwards. See you there

12.01.2022 Any local security window companies out there who would be willing to donate and install some vandal-proof mesh on our windows? Volunteers spent this morning clearing up broken glass after rocks were thrown through the kitchen window. In the last few weeks weve had the security camera wiring damaged and even our Peace Pole was pulled out of the garden - complete with its concrete base - and dumped on the footy oval. If youre around the garden and see any suspicious activity please call Warragul Police.

12.01.2022 Join us at our Tuesday working bee! We'll be there from around 9.30 until about 2, the kettle will be on and there may even be some treats on hand too! I will not, however, be wearing a long skirt or fancy hat

10.01.2022 Eastern Park Community Garden volunteers would like to pay tribute to Mr. Ian Holdsworth who passed away recently. Ian was an enthusiastic supporter of the garden throughout its development, and through Warragul Rotary continued to support many of our garden activities and events. Our condolences are extended to his family and friends.

10.01.2022 Its our working bee on Saturday! Well be getting our hands dirty from 10-2 so feel free to join in! One of the tasks is to organise the compost and give it a good airing - as well as taking home some veggie goodness at the end of the day! In the meantime, to get you in the swing of the gardening bug have a read of this!

09.01.2022 Thankyou to all our volunteers for helping with the cleaning of the hive frames today! Your work is valued and the bees thank YOU! *some volunteers not pictured*

09.01.2022 VOLUNTEER CALL OUT! We are seeking volunteers to come down to the Warragul Community garden tomorrow and scrape some honey frames for us! Everyone is welcome, dont forget we always have tea or coffee on offer

09.01.2022 After our call out for help we received an amazing offer from Warragul Screens & Glass who have fixed our windows and installed a mesh over the top to prevent any further vandalism. These people have huge hearts and their workmanship is second to none. If you are looking for a company with a community focus then this is it! We cannot thank you enough!

07.01.2022 Given the current situation all working bees at the garden will be cancelled for the foreseeable future to ensure we have no group gatherings on the site.

However the garden is still open for free produce - and as always please leave some to share.....more important in these times than ever before.

07.01.2022 We are so excited to announce that we have been awarded a Fonterra Grass Roots grant! This will be used to install another water tank at the garden to get us through those hot summer months. To say we are over the moon is an understatement!
