Growing local
Garden Visits
Information
Follow the calendar link below to check out where the group is visiting throughout the year or to choose a date for your own GV:
We're always looking for new gardens to visit. Don't be shy, it's easy and no one expects "perfection" (whatever that is) they just want somewhere to meet up and chat!
Please take a few moments to follow the link above and read the simple instructions in full.
Then contact Dianne with the information needed so I organise an Event Listing for your visit.
WHY WE LIKE TO HAVE GARDEN VISITS:
It's amazing what we can learn by visiting other peoples gardens. I know I pick up at least one good idea or plant each time.
You might be surprised at how keen other members are to visit your garden and see what you are growing, how your chooks / quails are kept, share their own excess produce, cuttings, seed and generally just have a good old chat with other like minded people.
Be brave!
The visits are informal and free. Choose to come to as many or few as you wish.
Dianne's mobile number 0407 691 485 for emergencies.
ORGANISE YOUR OWN EVENTS!
Anyone is welcome to post and organise their own Events of any kind - in fact it is encouraged.
If you choose to do this please put your own name down as organiser, not mine. It can be very confusing for everyone if my name is on it and I know nothing about the Event.
Responsibility for running the event is up to the organiser.
Thank you

Just realized can't do GV or lunch on this day- spending the day kayaking in the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands.

There is a walk on shore if the tide is in but bring shoes that you can wade in. Shell beds here and there.
Some mangrove mud close to sure...
On land there is usually a ford at the swamp outlet...

Looks good, we would be interested in lunch as well at Beachmere. Don't like to be pushy. It's been many years since we have been there.

The new spot, the Beach Shak has a great menu with gluten free options. It's where my crowd eats and drinks when we do that outside the home. Limited space though.
The Club Beachmere(now run by the RSL) has a board menu.
The Fish.Chip place opposite the water tower has quality offerings.
In the shopping centre there is an Indian restaurant (just opened) and bakery...and the Beachmere Tavern has very good meals, altho a little pricey.
The School Community Garden project supplies the Beach Shak & Club Beachmere with fresh produce and herbs. (Not now as we are hiatus over the vac)...for that we get meal vouchers which are used for P&C fundraising.

Count me in for lunch

I'll check out some of the venues for GF. Dave might even have some suggestions as he has Coeliacs in his family.

We could be persuaded ;-) Should be able to find GF, Beachmere is a very modern place these days.

Beachmere has a lot to offer. Really quite a nice place to visit. Thanks for the map and info Dave. Hopefully some will make a day of it.
Anyone fancy meeting for lunch somewhere?

GrowVetiver
Vetiver grass helps to stabilise soil and protects it against erosion. It can protect against pests and weeds. Vetiver is also used as animal feed. (Wiki.)
GrowVetiver is a plant nursery run by Dave & Keir Riley that harvests and grows Vetiver grass for local community applications and use. It is based in Beachmere, just north of Brisbane, Australia.
