Saturday 27th July 2024   

9 am - 12 noon 
Meeting Place: Community Nursery.
Everyone is welcome to these working bees / activities which are held every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month (with the odd exception).
Here's a list of what needs to be done:   (the list will be updated in the lead-up to the day).

Whatever happens - during autumn and winter we endeavor to get plants in the ground at every activity. 🌱🌱🌱
Yes - that's our priority this time of year.  With a bit of moisture around, it is now an ideal time to plant!
We may scout the eastern section of the park and replace recent plantings that have not survive.   Plant guards are already in place this so should be an easy job.

Other tasks typically include:

Care and maintenance of plants in the nursery (Hopefully some seed trays prepared and cuttings struck).

Tube plants to 'pot-up' into 140mm pots (making them much more likely to survive when planted out in the park).

Seed Collection - Many of our native plants are coming into seed - we need to observe and harvest at the right time.

Maintaining the Karkarook Native Garden:   Some weeds are poking through - easy job if we keep on top of them.

Topping up the 'Little Library in the playground' with children's books.

Litter Collection:  A casual stroll through the park with litter bag and pick-up stick.

😊 Yes  - we have no mulch!   Hopefully more to come soon
Tasks for the future include:

• Collecting wire tree guards from previous year's plantings.   (in the cooler months when the snakes are in hibernation!)

• Work on a few bollards to stand them up and make some of them removable / replaceable.

Wednesday 14th August the midweek crew)

1:30 - 4 ish.  

Normally, three or four of us like to get together mid-week to do 'odd jobs' -  finish off what was started last Saturday or make preparations for the next Saturday activity.
Alternatively we may tackle a task at the bottom of the list that we'd otherwise never get to.
As always - all are welcome.
