12th Sept, Saturday
9am - 12pm
Our big news is that we are doubling the size of the Stepping Stone Urban Farm in Dickson! This is possible thanks to the Salvation Army, who have agreed to us using more land, and the Snow Foundation who have given us a grant for the urban farm.

Please join us to help us make another 20 garden beds!

For those who came to the last working bee it will be the same process - measuring garden beds, rolling out cardboard, shovelling soil to fill the bed forming frame, mulching with lucerne and forming paths.

Stay for 1 hour or all day, any help will be rewarded with coffee, snacks and big smiles.

Wheelbarrows and shovels will be greatly appreciated.
