An example of community still glowing bright in the dark depths of the inner city!
Thanks again to everyone who came! I look forward to reading your comments! What are your dreams for the Food Forest? Any ideas of Forest Garden related workshops are very welcome! Is there a piece of land near you which would be a great place for a Community Food Forest Garden?
Special thanks to Pat & Tom from MINTI for all their hard work and Pip from the Flemington Neighbourhood House

I love the video! How neat. It looks awesome and like everyone worked really hard. Congrats on the success!
Thank you so much Tammy, it’s so exciting to be able to visit this garden and watch it grow!
Just found your site a few days ago – been sifting through and finding your words, pictures and stories very inspiring and motivating. I’m studying a Diploma of Permaculture, which involves a lot of community work and negotiation. Its tough cause I’m new to town (regional Victoria) and so don’t have many connections. Any tips for getting your ideas out there are getting people involved, talking to councils etc? Would love to hear more about your story.
Thanks,
Annelies
Thanks for your kind words Annelies. I would suggest making contact with the Permablitz Melbourne collective and become part of the guild. They have monthly meetings where they share ideas and network. http://www.permablitz.net/
Local permaculture networks are also good to meet people. Permaculture out West is my local, but i’m more involved with permablitz. http://www.pow.org.au/
If you are free this sunday I have organised a Food Swap Picnic in Flemington and it would be great to see you there.

In regards to councils, find out the details of the sustainability officer and contact them directly.
