Please RSVP with arrival time & what you can bring by Wednesday 19 May. Roland - 0421 921 923 or on facebook
Help us to extend & create together a magical food forest & garden
- a perma-sculpture out of plants
Conscious creation instead of unconscious destruction while fostering strong community spirit through creative expression & building community resilience & health through food security.
Bring your Green thumbs & lets Shape Form Plant Sprout Grow
BYO - garden forks, shovels, spades, matic, gloves & hand tools
Requesting annuals seedlings, trees, vines & bushes (tube or small pots) to plant now for the coming season.
Especially looking for:
*under-story coastal rainforest food producing indigenous plants
*a full range of fruit, nut & spice trees, vines and plants to establish a extended food forest
*2 x 8m x 8m second hand above ground pool liner(s) to make a pond
*seeds & seedlings to plant now for dry season growth & harvest
We are looking for these seedlings & small plants as a contribution to Digger Street & its vision of showing what can be possible in Cairns & Urban Centres Australia wide by combining yards & resources & designing a garden using Permaculture & Biodynamic principles. Your support will allow Digger Street to move towards food sustainability for as many as 25+ residents.
Please park on Digger Street side if coming by car or bicycle (a bike rack is on the side of 107 between 105). When you arrive walk through the forest behind 105 & 107 to the house out back to meet us at the kitchen. Bring your instruments for a jam at the end of the day. We are planning a light lunch and a feed after so if you have any culturally specific dishes you would like to bring to share that would be ace!
