Garden report 2021

During the pandemic volunteers were encouraged to do planting and routine maintenance work in pairs
or small groups.
At the beginning of the year we redesigned the garden to allow for plant rotation and including bee –
attracting plants.
Initially, despite the pandemic, we were able to deliver our vegetables weekly to the Redfern
Community Centre and Jarjum College when open. Unfortunately, the recent lockdown prevented us
from continuing with the deliveries. Deliveries to the Redfern Centre have now ceased and instead we
deliver to The Salvation Army refuge for refugees who are victims of slavery.
The proceeds of pesto sales enabled a slow-cooking pot to be purchased for Jarjum College to prepare
hot lunches for the youth.
