Sylvester Hive Community Garden launch

Join them to celebrate community food gardening at the launch of the recently completed Sylvester Hive Community Garden. The garden is a joint project of the Pavilion School (recognised for their work with disengaged young people), Darebin Council and the local community. A ‘hive’ is a place where people meet and connect, and the garden will be a base for building relationships between school staff, students and local residents over time, as well as a place to grow delicious local organic food.

Costa Georgiadis, from ABC Gardening Australia will give a talk about how growing food using permaculture can bring gardeners and non-gardeners alike together through the celebration of nature’s cycles and seasons, nurturing the soil and the soul. Costa will entertain and inspire through his personal anecdotes of other community gardens, schools and community groups and what makes growing food communally work.

Bring a plate of food to share for lunch. Make your own free healthy, pedal powered smoothies with Bike n’ Blend. Free coffee and tea courtesy of Friends of Baucau – remember to bring your re-usable coffee cup or mug!
