YCG had its first member event for the year on 12 May 2018. These events are an opportunity for like-minded people to get together, connect with each other and celebrate the Gardens. It also gives the members an opportunity to hear from our president, Colleen Bichel, on what is planned for the rest of the year. At the event we fired up the pizza oven, enjoyed talking to each other whilst we put together our own pizza creations, all the while listening to beautiful music in the background. Ideas were shared and we introduced the members to the topic of Syntropic Farming. A fun quiz on the Gardens saw much laughter with members young and old running around the Gardens trying to find the answers. The winners were treated to some great prizes.
Thank you to all the members who support the Gardens and took the time to share their ideas with the management committee.
