Another great day of permaculture garden-making and skill sharing at Monica's house in Moonee ponds. These photos are partial - check back later once more photos come in!
Again a lovely crowd, with many of our past participants along with about 15 new faces, many from people in the area. A lot of networking went down!
|
After a welcome and talk from Monica, we got in to it, starting with implenting Cecilia's vision for the veradah and adjoining garden.
|
Ah - with a chain gang and everything! What team work!
|
Daniel getting stuck in.

The ever-radiant Maria and Ana move stuff. We'll be blitzing it up at Maria's house on June 11, by the way.
|
Newcomers arrive, fortifying themselves with a light snack before getting down to it.

Here the lovely Tomoko from Japan cranks out some wheatgrass juice.

Whilst Monica fiddles with the mulcher. Turns out the reason it wasn't working was that there was a powercut...
