Hi
I’m Marianne Herrmann, the president of the East Bentleigh Village Garden. Our community garden is communally tended – when not in lockdown – and is a beautiful, colourful environment that encourages community connections, bringing people together around fresh, healthy food.
We are open to the public but membership based.
kind regards
Marianne
I am currently working on a not-for-profit project foodexchange.com.au. Would you mind adding your details for Facebook, email or contact information and I will add it to the list I have borrowed above? Thanks Jon.
