Thanks For The Dedication And Service To Our Organisation

By

At the member function in December 3 of our members were awarded honorary life membership for their dedication, commitment, and service to our organisation. Penny Foster, Linda Mahony, and Doug Mahony have been with the gardens for many years and are important advisors to the management committee through the ‘Garden Sub-committee’. They bring with them the wisdom of the Gardens’ history and many years of knowledge and service. We are so grateful for your continued service to our organisation and thank you for your advice and dedication.

Linda also gave us an account of the gardens’ history, click here to read.

Queensland Garden Expo – Great Success

By

The Queensland Garden Expo was bigger and better than ever before. YCG enjoyed a prime spot in the ‘Kitchen Garden’ area where we got to meet many of our current members and inspired more participation in the Gardens through the signing up of new members and workshop participants. Costa came to say hi and we showcased our unique Permaculture plants, how to create your own microbes and provided people with seed for a small donation. Thanks to our friends at Permaculture Noosa who shared the space with us. All and all it was a great 3 days where we hoped to have inspired people with the idea of gardening differently and more sustainably.
