The weekend of July 22 & 23 we are having a group tour of 3 gardens in the Nimbin & Mullumbimby areas. You are welcome to join us.

Saturday morning we car pool to Nimbin and tour permaculture food forest Djanbung Gardens along with some of our northern rivers seed savers cousins.

Saturday night accommodation will be at Granny’s Farm Nimbin where we can make use of the communal kitchen and enjoy a shared/communal meal together on Saturday night. PLEASE BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION DIRECTLY WITH GRANNY’S FARM. Prices range from $15 – $90. Call 6689 1333 to book.

Sunday we head to the Mullumbimby area where we visit Rasa Dover’s garden in Goonengerry – coordinator of Byron Hinterland Seed Savers. This is about a 1 hour drive from Djanbung Gardens. We could also fit in a visit to Joel Orchard’s Community Garden at Mullumbimby, about 30min drive from Rasa’s garden.

Sunday evening drive home.

Participants will need to pay for car-pooling petrol, food and accommodation.
Garden visit fees will be covered by Bellingen Seed Savers.

Please arrive at midday. A little garden tour will commence at 12.30
There will be a small ritual to honour Gaia and the winter solstice. You are welcome to join David in sacrificing your summer hat. Please bring something to throw into the fire to let go of, even just a piece of paper with something written on it.

Three years ago, Shann and her family were lucky enough to make the move from Canberra to the delightful hamlet of Repton. A bushland setting opens out on valley views of farmland and circling Osprey. Terraced paths wend down the slope, through palms and frangipani to a pond and banana grove full of potential.

Shann has inherited an established garden mix of natives and exotics and is looking for tips and tricks to improve her beginnings at a vegie garden.

Come and enjoy a tranquil morning out in Repton, bring something to share and a fold up chair if you have one.

Note: sloping site with some paths not quite finished; sensible shoes advised

Please bring your ideas & experiences for an interactive eve that will afford us a good conversation & indulgences.
