SUMMARY:City of Monash: Open Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Four varied and exciting gardens are open free to the public. Join us for a day exploring the old and the new\, the large and the small\, the native and the exotic. Presented by Waverley Garden Club in conjunction with the City of Monash. \n  \nFirst: \nMary’s Garden \, 777 Waverley Road Glen Waverley \nThis is a large established garden with a variety of camellias\, maples\, roses\, azaleas and\nhydrangeas\, a large lawn and several large shady trees. There has been a more recent planting of\nnative bird-attracting shrubs and three Wollemi pine trees\, purchased when they first became\ncommercially available.\nA new\, key feature of the garden is the conversion of a tennis court into an orchard with a very\nimpressive formal layout of gravel paths\, with a raised vegetable garden bed\, along with a large\nnumber of fruit trees\, including heritage apple varieties\, plums\, cherries\, figs and more\, as well as\na variety of berries. \nSecond: \nNick’s Garden\, 9 Blue Hills Avenue\, Mt Waverly \nNick’s unique front garden “Dreamtime\,” is a representation of Australia. Its Aboriginal focus\nincludes symbolic ceremonial\, boomerang\, rainbow serpent and billabong gardens. There is a\nsculpted rock Uluru\, the Murray River meanders tranquilly through a section\, and the nature strip\ncontinues the indigenous planting theme. Plant and flower colour is used to complement various\naspects and provide a variety of ‘bush tucker’ for the local fauna.\nThe back yard provides a range of native and exotic plants and there is a number of bonsai in\nvarious stages of development. There is also a small but productive vegie garden\, a fernery and a\nfire pit area. Large gum trees tower over the front and rear of the property providing a micro-\nclimate and cover for a vast amount of birdlife throughout the year. \nThird: \nJack and Marie’s Garden\, 31 Rosaline Avenue\, Mt Waverly \nJack and Marie moved here in 2016 with the aim of downsizing to a sustainable small house and\ngarden. Karen Sutherland was engaged to establish a “permaculture forest’ of edible plants. Some\noriginal plants – roses\, a North American maple\, a Japanese maple and a hibiscus remain. Two\nplants were brought from the previous garden: a single hardy rhubarb that has produced\nvigorous offspring\, and a small bayleaf now as tall as a ship’s mast.\nThe remainder of the garden – replete with strawberry guavas\, feijoas\, a trio of hazelnuts\, a\nloquat\, a quartet of citrus trees and three raised vegetable beds – speaks for itself. First time\nvisitors are advised to look for the drive with the bed of strawberries in the middle!\nWarning: Bee hives on property. \nFourth \nAshwood High School Community Garden\,  50 Vannam Drive\, Mt Waverly \nThis large Community Garden was established in 2007 based on the permaculture model.\nThere are no individual plots\, with members working throughout the garden as tasks need to be\ncompleted.\nThere are several wicking beds\, bee hives\, hot and cold compost bins and a worm farm.\nVolunteers grow seasonal fruit and vegetables. There are more than 30 fruit trees with some\nunusual ones\, including yakon\, babaco\, avocado\, a rare Indian apple tree (no fruit yet)\, a\ncherimoya\, a white sapote\, plus many\, many more.\nVolunteers will be selling various seedlings including a wide variety of tomatoes unavailable\ncommercially.\nWarning: Bee hives on property. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Farm to Ferment: fermenting with farm fresh produce
DESCRIPTION:For aeons fermentation has allowed for the growth and creation of cultures around the world. It has beckoned in the gathering of community as an effective way to preserve abundant harvests all the while preventing mass food waste. Fermentation also allows for the development of complex flavours\, increased bioavailability\, and enhanced nutrition – the benefits are endless. We live in a society where food waste and in-access to nutritious food are some of the most impactful aspects of the current ecological crises we are faced with. There is a rumbling of curiosity in the action of reviving fermentation – (most) bacteria are our friends. In this workshop we foment that sense of intrigue and guide you through the basic principles of fruit and vegetable fermentation\, equipping you with a foundational skill set to alchemise plants at home. This workshop will act as a bubbly-beginning for the chance to utilise fermentation to vitalise connection and culture. \nIn this workshop you will learn the basics of fermenting soft and hard vegetables\, you will concoct your very own recipe and go home with two jars of delicious ferments. \nPlease bring 2 x 500g jars and a hat! Some jars will be available for purchase\, but reusing is preferred.
