“I’d like to just say a huge thank you for all your wonderful efforts and care for our natural environment. I can only imagine what a bare and dusty patch of earth that space would be without your love and care.
It’s wonderful how you also bring together a community (young and old) that strives toward a positive common goal and comes together, in action, to be part of something bigger than themselves.
We’re super lucky to have you, and I hope to help cultivate bigger and better things for 2026!

Activities.
So we did two and a half hours of weeding Corky Passion Vine Passiflora suberosa and other nasty vines so the children did packing of weeds into bags and raking leaves for compost.
And we cut the seeds off the guinea grass and gave all the seeds and the grassy weeds to the neighbors chickens which they eat up beautifully for rich yellow eggs.
Then we shared cold watermelon and iced water and peppermint tea for morning tea. We shared stories of holidays and keeping each other safe and happy in the neighborhood we taught the children how to become good gardeners and to make some money when they get older with the skills they are learning here on the bush site
