Saturday 14th December 2024   

9 am - 12 am   

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

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).

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 11th December (the midweek crew)

1:30 - 4 ish.  To be confirmed - please call John 0418 177 777

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.
