With the onset of winter and some good soaking winter rain, the daffodils planted by student garden volunteers are starting to appear. We'll be using these beautiful flowers to raise money for the Cancer Council later in Term 3.

If you or your family have had experience and success growing warm climate vegetables in western Melbourne like Okra, sweet potato, cassava, taro, dragon fruit, ginger, turmeric, lemon grass and others please get in touch via email at hodoherty@crcstalbans.com.au to share your stories and tips!

We're also looking for families support on a number of garden projects coming up later in the year. If you have any experience in building and construction, brick laying, welding, pizza oven building and clay rendering or just an all round passion for gardening and growing food, we'd love to hear from you. Please email your interest to hodoherty@crcstalbans.com.au
