The top banner this month shows some of what has been happening on our local headland reserve. Over 2,500 plants have been planted by the community and a Corporate group with one more Corporate group to come. Weeding sessions have begun, tackling tradescantia<\/em>, common ivy and tidying up some of the sets of steps. There is plenty more weeding to do over the next few months, but don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that only planting trees is fun. It\u2019s all great, not least just being on the reserve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houghton Valley Community Garden update<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Our community garden is in need of some more tools. If you have any that are not being used please consider donating them to a worthy cause. Tools needed include a fork, draw hoe, rake, grubber and shears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a worm farm at the gardens and a minder is needed for September and October. If you\u2019d like to learn a simple care-for-the soil activity please contact the gardeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WCC Stone Soup Fund helped fund an upgrade to the garden water supply, including fixing the leaky tap by the compost bins. The next project is to install the large rainwater tank from Khandallah community garden for some water resilience. It is large and requires securing before it can be filled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
