Kevin Upward from the Men’s Shed gave us a brief
presentation about their project and are inviting Permaculture members and
people within the community to participate.
The Sunshine Valley Men’s Shed are the beneficiaries
of 4.5 acres of ex-strawberry farm which they intend to turn over to a Permaculture
garden for the benefit of the Sunshine Valley Community.

The property is
adjacent to The Men’s Shed in Blackall Range Road, West Woombye. They are about
to start forming the parent beds and are well aware that it is going to be a
slow ongoing project.

On Saturday, 19th of May from 10.30 am, Councillor
Jenny McKay will be attending to lay the first bits of cardboard & mulch
etc. Everyone is welcome to attend to view the plan and if possible, offer advice
on how to set the garden up from a Permaculture perspective.
Keith is hoping to put on a sausage sizzle and will be
inviting like-minded groups and individuals to attend. If you think that you
may have an interest in this project, either as an individual or group, please
