2015 Annual Report
This year
- Raised wooden boxes were constructed around our vegetable beds. This project was funded by donations and built by a member of the Association.
- A watering system was installed.
A friend of the Association who is a member of Rotary e-club applied to Rotary for a donation of $600.00 to enable the Association to install a new watering system for the vegetable garden. This was approved.
Our organic vegetable garden is totally run by a number of members of the association who meet regularly in the garden plot.
We are growing a variety of seasonal produce to maximise variety in the food basket we donate weekly to 3 organisations
- WAGEC (Women and Girls Emergency Centre in Potts Point), which is a support service for women with or without children who are at risk or experiencing homelessness in the Inner City of Sydney. This includes indigenous women.
- Young Parents Support Organisation run by the Red Cross in Randwick. This also includes indigenous people.
- St Canices’ Kitchen for homeless people and refugees/asylum seekers in Kings Cross
We also contribute produce to the members of our association who organize monthly lunches for refugees/asylum seekers at the Asylum Seekers Centre in Newtown.
The garden continues to be totally organic, as we believe strongly in the benefits of eating fresh organic food.
