Wanna see some mud thrown?
The community is invited to the Official Sod Turning Ceremony at the new Terrigal Community Garden tomorrow.
I need to promote it here because I stuffed up and didn't get the story into Coast Community News this week.
After three years of planning and engaging the community for support, the Terrigal Community Garden project will officially break ground on the chosen site at noon on Saturday, May 10.
The garden will grow at the rear of the 50 Plus Centre on the Corner of Duffy’s Rd and Terrigal Drive.
Community Garden President Marianne Hamilton invites one and all to attend.
The 1000 square metre site is under licence from the Council.
Ms Hamilton said the garden will provide an important place for companionship and connection as well as a sustainable source of food for the community.
“The initiative will include cultural and educational events related to organic gardening, including workshops,” Ms Hamilton said.
“The community garden will also be accessible to local schools, sharing knowledge of gardening with students of all ages.”
Ms Hamilton said the group will continue fundraising efforts for equipment and material to get the garden operational.
“We would like to thank all our supporters, business sponsors and community members and now have more than 430 Facebook members on Terrigal Community Garden (private page),” she said.
"Our hope is that the garden will bring the community together to grow food, share produce, learn about sustainability in a changing world and develop social contacts."
The group is a member of the Combined Community Gardens on the Central Coast which has been providing support and advice.
Noon, tomorrow; see you there?
