Community citrus grove planting day

 

Greetings friends,

Please join us on Saturday September 3 at the community garden beside the library for a morning of citrus tree planting. 

Please feel free to bring a citrus tree to plant on the day, or if you can't join the working bee but would like to donate a tree, please feel free to donate to the Daylesford Community Food Gardeners account at Wombat Hill Nursery (28 Raglan St, Daylesford, ph: 5348 1439). Or if you have sourced a tree yourself and would like to drop it off before September 3, please drop it off to Meg and Patrick's at 6 Tierneys Lane, Daylesford.

If you are going to join us - yay! Please also bring if you can, a shovel, a bag of matured compost or horse poo, weed-free mulch, a thermos of tea, snacks to share.

A big shout out to Fe Porter for instigating the project.

Sending big juicy health-giving, Vitamin C laden love,

The Daylesford Community Food Gardeners 🧡🧡🧡

Beekeeping Naturally with Adrian Iodice

Hi everyone,

Please join us this coming Tuesday April 19 for our first Apis event of the year. Apis is our local natural beekeeping group, established to encourage backyard beekeeping in the Hepburn Shire.

Please join us for a delicious organic dinner and a talk with Adrian Iodice from Beekeeping Naturally. Adrian believes that beekeeping is primarily about the health of the bees. And that changing the culture of beekeeping is about shifting people's mindsets from honey production towards a more holistic and harmonious approach that works with the bees for the health of the entire ecosystem.

Adrian lives on a farm in the southern NSW Bega valley with his wife and three children, where they are creating a bee sanctuary and education centre as a living model of natural beekeeping. He will be visiting Hepburn for a few days only, and we are so rapt he has agreed to come and give a talk while he's here in Djaara Country:

Tuesday April 19

6pm - 7.30pm

Melliodora, 16 Fourteenth Street Hepburn 

(Please park at the Hepburn Primary School and walk down) 

Entry is $5 for dinner and talk

No need to RSVP, just rock up.
