Annual Pot Luck Work Party! Is that #32?!

I had a feeling that we would be lucky with the weather for our annual pot luck work party - and I was right! What an absolutely perfect day it turned out to be weather-wise plus one of our local Starbucks kindly donated java to start the morning off right.

Handsome group eh? apple watch shot

 'Nothin better than working in the garden and then enjoying a delicious repast in the garden! The food is always wonderful every year at the potluck, and today was no exception. Some amazing home made goodies - some using ingredients fresh from our gardens - yum.

I may have to fact check this - but I believe the garden founders started the tradition of having the Pot Luck at the July work party 30-odd years ago as typically the weather is always good in July - smart!!

another chair assembled - nice

After working hard to eradicate the infamous GOUT WEED - breaking bread together in the garden is such a lovely and organic way to get to know each other.

Java break!

Lovely stones revealed at our east entrance

I fulfilled my childhood dream of being an archaeologist - the reveal!

The kindness of strangers and Choices

A few images from last weekend's annual Choices BBQ fundraiser. Thanks to our gardeners who gave a chunk of their Saturday to come out to support the garden. 

Can't really beat good company and adding some cash to our garden coffers! We had a decent number of shoppers buying the veggie and hot dogs + lavender wands encouraged by our garden crew. We had a good laugh and it's always interesting to put the 'sales' hat on and get a slice of humanity :) - we ran into some memorable characters!!

The manager and staff at Choices are absolutely charming and it's wonderful they want to support our garden for the 3rd year!
