In exchange for volunteering at the Open Garden we've shared in the gate takings. These funds (over $1000) have helped keep your annual fees low and our garden going.
Over the weekend of 21-22 February, Karen will open her garden once more. This time, as well as covering the gate (and sharing in these takings), we'll sell tea, coffee and cakes and perhaps a few pots of jam as well (money raised from this part all goes to the garden).

This is one of our key fundraising efforts each year and your help is needed. If you haven't helped yet this year, here's your chance! With 300 people on our mailing list including 80 members surely we can manage this.
What's involved?
As fundraising goes, this couldn't be much easier. You either get to:
- hang out for a few hours (Sat or Sun, morning or afternoon) in Karen's lovely, edible garden, chat to people who're interested in lovely, edible gardens while raising money for our lovely edible community garden, or
- make some jam, biscuits or cakes in advance for us to sell
If you're up for helping to organise it then let us know.
Volunteers should email Mark at grow.eat.moreland@gmail.com
This year the Open Garden scheme is winding up so you really should go and check out Karen's garden while you can. More details close to the time.
