The Master Gardeners have a great teaching demonstration garden set up permanently in the South-East corner of our community garden!
Every Tuesday morning from 10 am – 12 noon you can visit and ask them a gardening or pest question, see whats growing and get some great ideas and information.
You can also contact them via email or phone:

Service Hour Goal
10 service hours
completed by end of April
Service Hours Tasks
Flip compost bins check dates, flip bins with dates more than 3 days old
Weeding Focus on gravel pathways for April. Shake off soil from the roots before discarding into green yard waste totes.
Empty Trash Bins into the blue dumpster. *This has moved so check with Garden Coordinators for new location!
Pick up trash or recycling in the garden and dispose of in the correct bins
Add garden prunings to our community compost processing area. Add weeds + diseased organic material to the green Yard Waste totes
Rake leaves from pathways: pile neatly in the compost area. Leave the leaves in garden beds for over-wintering insects!
Log Service Hours
Service Hours Log
- Log service hours after completing a Community Garden Task
- Check how many hours you have logged so far
Click here to view hours logged
As a CSG Member you must fulfill and log 15 x service hours by August 31st each year, per your Gardener’s Agreement. It’s very easy to achieve and helps keep our lovely community garden maintained and looking good.
Attend our Second Saturday or Last Thursday workdays where there are plenty of community jobs allocated on those days.
Check with your Row Leader what needs doing near your Row OR there is a monthly Task List posted here and on the garden kiosk noticeboard near the main gate. So if you need to contribute service hours outside of workdays, you can easily log an hour or two each month.
Happy gardening!
