Our Place - Our Patches

Learn how to build a thriving, diverse garden. Join the Valentine Sustainable Neighbourhood Group for a short garden walking tour and community workshop.

We'll be leading a short walking tour of five gardens in old Valentine, followed by morning tea and a workshop to help you plan your own patch.

We'll show you gardens that demonstrate practical ways to:

• Create biodiversity, natural beauty and wildlife in our gardens
• Grow vegies and herbs in raised garden beds
• Plant a verge garden - a special place to share with our community
• Multi-mix vegies, fruit trees and flowering plants
• Compost, worm farm and have backyard chooks

Please bring $5 cash to help with the cost of morning tea.

Meet at 9.30am at the playground, Allambee Park, opposite Valentine shops

For more information call 0428 599 236 or find us on Facebook.

To keep our community safe, we will encourage social distancing during the event. Please do not attend if you have any Covid-19 symptoms or are otherwise required to isolate (Covid positive or close contact).

Please note there are public toilet facilities available at Allambee Park, but will not be available for the rest of the tour.

The walking tour is along gentle pathways and road verges. We'll be walking a distance of 1-2km / 20-25 minutes.
