It’s planting season

Head down to the Docklands Community Garden this month for a community planting day on Saturday, December 7.

Following on from the successful spring planting day in September, this month’s event will be all about summer planting.

Kicking off at 11am, the day will start with a gardening seminar by Sandi Pullman in the brand new community garden pavilion.

Sandi will provide tips on growing tomatoes and some lucky attendees will even receive their own tomato plant to take home.

A barbecue lunch will follow, before getting stuck into planting the summer crops in the afternoon.

According to garden volunteer Greg Wise, the spring planting day in September resulted in plenty of new faces getting involved with the garden. It’s hoped this month’s event will encourage even more locals to get involved.
