A Hills Community "Doing" Party


Everyone is invited to a morning of Doing and Learning at Belinda and Andrew's home in Ferny Creek from 10am – 1pm Saturday the 27th March. Morning tea and light lunch will be provided, lunch will occur after the 1pm knockoff. We are happy to meet any of your family and friends on the day. Any plates of food you wish to share will be extremely appreciated.


The tasks we are hoping to achieve here at the MudBrick Palace are:-

  • Winter weeding and mulching in our fledgling orchard

  • Lift and Division of Artichokes

  • Moving a Bath down the hill for our ducks

  • Transplanting citrus

  • Seedling planting


Subject to equipment and time availability we would also like to prepare a new section of the block for planting next season.


The Workshops and Demonstrations planned for the day are :-

  • Testing soil Ph and Clay Content

  • Scything Basics

  • Swales – How do you make one? Why would you use one?

BYO Gloves

Please RSVP before Friday 25th, on simply.belinda @ gmail.com or 97553010(AH), to obtain the address and allow me to have an idea of numbers for catering purposes.

It will be wonderful to see any of you that can attend.

Kind Regards
Belinda & Andrew

Wish I could come, sounds great.

I didn't know you had ducks, you lucky thing, i would get some if we didn't have one evil neighbour.

I've been reading your blog for at least a year, so was very pleased to see this post. It would be real nice to meet you and see your place and get stuck into some of the things I have no chance to do at my own place (I rent and my backyard is concreted). I'm checking the calendar and hope to be sending you an RSVP for two adults and three kids :)

Hi GreenFumb,

The ducks are a pretty new addition. They are still pretty shy but loveable never the less.

Hi Louise,
I really hope you can make it. I always enjoy sharing my home with new people.

Kind Regards
Belinda

Hi Cait,

It would be lovely if I could get all my bloggy buddies together. I know the ones I have met have been a whole lot of fun.

Kind Regards
Belinda
