Creating a Sustainable Sunshine Coast - Nambour to Mooloolah

Food garden working bees start November 11.

The Eudlo Relocalisation Group meets on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month at 8.30am in the park opposite the Eudlo General Store – everyone is welcome. The groups’ focus is on community activities within Eudlo – particularly those to do with climate change and peak oil. Food production is a big issue for the future so the group will be starting Food Garden Working Bee days this November.

Working bees are simple – the garden owner sorts out a project, gathers materials and resources, lets people know what they need to bring (usually tools, wheelbarrows etc), they supply tea, coffee, etc and the ‘workers’ bring a plate of food to share. The work will usually be for about three hours, after which we can all relax and have a meal together and you can get to know people in your local area. Projects for the working bee include anything related to home organic food production – garden beds, no-dig gardens, compost systems, setting up a worm farm, mulching, pruning, planting, seed saving, building a chook house…

The first food garden working bee will be on Sunday November 11 at a property on Mossybank Road. Contact group coordinator Sonya raintreeorganics@yahoo.com.au for more information or to join us.
