Helpers wanted!
Over the next few weeks, 3 of us are taking turns to be on site @ Merri Murrnong (along Merri trail, south of Murray Rd) the following Mondays from 9 - 10 am.
The site is currently spring blooming with, amongst others, bulbines and chocolate lilies but some unhelpful weeds are trying to do the same.
It’s a great time to be there – not too cold not too hot.
We’ll be happy to induct you into how we work and with the ecology of Merri Murrnong.
You will target only one type of weed at a time so no prior knowledge required, just willing to help and learn.
We provide tools and freshly brewed native mint. Bring gloves if you need some.
Next Monday (30/9), finish off your weeding by planting something nice. As it is school hols, yes you can bring kids along. There are areas of low diversity where little feet won't be a problem but your work will still be important. We also have a few activities ready for kids.
If you can, let us know using the email below you are coming.
If you are really keen to learn how to become a weeding custodian of this site but Monday 9 am does not work for you, contact us on bloomingfantasticweeding@gmail.com and we'll see how we can help you make this happen.

These great people are now regular spontaneous weeders @Merri Murnong.
Here tackling just one weed, chickweed, but uncovering and helping in the process some lovely chocolate lilies and a few other beauties. When they find something interesting they can contact us, and they did.
You can come and discover too Blooming Fantastic Weeding.
