Dear {usertag:name}

This e-newsletter is being sent to members of the Food & Gardening Health Recreation Environment Energy Water and Towards Zero Waste Subgroups.

Welcome new member Jan Nixon-Smith.  Jan’s business is Keperra Bowen Therapy Clinic.

It was great to see many of you there at the Healthy Lifestyles Expo on Saturday last. Did you notice stallholders with Transition The Grove badges? We handed out a lot on the day.

The next important local gathering that Transition The Grove is supporting is the Community Garden Information Day this coming Saturday 23rd June from 11am to 1pm at Julatten Park off Upper Kedron Rd (and also off Strathmere Place) Upper Kedron. The site for the garden is at the back of the park.

Also on the same Saturday there are several local Environment activities happening in the MacGregor Way park which is having a major beautification.

We are also in the process of planning a series of 6 different Saturday morning Walks by Local Water. This will be a Water Subgroup activity. Not long or difficult but quite lovely especially at this time of year. 

The Energy Subgroup regular meeting is on the 1st Thursday of the month at 7pm at the Ferny Grove State High School Resource Centre.

Warm regards

Anne Tennock

Subgroup Organiser

Dear {usertag:name}

A reminder for anyone who is interested in being part of a community garden that this meeting is happening on Monday afternoon. Some approvals have already been given by the school for a garden there and the opportunity is there for you to be part of helping it get established.
Community garden first steering group meeting
When:
28/03/2011 04:00 PM
Where:
Patricks Rd State Pre-School – Ferny Hills- in the pre-school grounds.
Schools are starting to look like a good place for gardens – it also has advantages for the schools as they are not easily able to afford grounds’ staff to keep all the gardens thriving and having vege-herb gardens is a good example for the children.
I hope that you will be able to attend this meeting and that it proves productive.
Regards
Anne
