Food Swap at the convent
As part of our monthly food swap at the convent, we are hoping to establish a POD. A POD is a gardening group that take a Productive, Organic, Diverse and Sustainable approach to the way they garden. For more information, have a look here www.sgaonline.org.au/pods.html

If you are a regular to the Farmer's Market and would like to be part of the group, please let us know. We will be conducting a food swap on the 4th Saturday of every month. It would be great if we could have a dedicated group of individuals heading along to not only share food but also knowledge and skills. We envisage the POD program as a way for gardening groups all over Australia to connect through SGA.

Also, PODs are starting to pop up all over the place, so if you're interested in being involved closer to home, let us know and we can point you in the right direction.
