CrowdSAUCING EVENT at Joe's Garden



30th April 10am - 1pm

34 Edna Grove Coburg
Corner Merri Creek and Harding St Swing Bridge

FREE

Come on down to Joe's Garden in the morning for a sauce making
demonstration and discussion by Jean Garita.
Meet members of the Garita family, talk community, see sauce getting
made, ask questions and look out upon Farmer Vincenzo's and Farmer
Emily's delicious fresh produce. Jean will be taking you step-by-step
through the sauce making process and talking about the social side of
the annual preserving event she has been apart of for over 70 years.


In 2003 CERES began farming here under the guidance of Joe Garita,
whose father bought the land in the late 1940's. The Merri Creek
Market Garden is a certified organic farm growing organic herbs and
vegetables for CERES Fair Food and the CERES Market.

This is a free event, you do not have to register or buy tomatoes,
this is a demonstration of saucing only.

Room Reno Remedy

I nominated a mate for a room reno makeover through this great initiative from Jen Clark designs.

In essence my mate is a single mum, survived breast cancer survivor, bought a unit, think 70's but not in a good way - kitchen and bathroom are pretty dire.

Invites you to a workshop:

Making your writing count, to save the Leadbeaters possum.

7pm -9pm

Monday 18^th April 2016

Newlands Community House

20 Murray Road, Coburg North

$2 with additional donations to help preserve the Leadbeaters Possum welcome

We are excited to have Steve Meacher, President of Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum present to share information about the situation and prepare our own responses to the Federal Governments Draft  National Recovery Plan for Leadbeaters possum . We will also be looking at other things we can do to help preserve the amazing home of possum the Central Highlands.

We have computers & a printer ( stocked with Forest Free Paper) to use

& also encourage people to bring portable devises if they have them  

Victoria’s Leadbeater’s  Possum:

        Is Critically Endangered (p11*)

Is rated as one of the world’s 100 highest priority mammal species for conservation  (p15*)

            It is also very cute, lives only in Victoria, only an hours drive away from us near Healesville, and     its habitat is being logged.         

Sadly the recent National Draft National Recovery Plan for the possum does not appear to be strong enough to stop it from becoming extinct ...and time is running out! ....

So we are coming together here in Newlands to prepare responses to this inadequate Plan to let the Department of Environment know we are aware about this and we do care.

  * The Australian Government has released a Draft National Recovery Plan for Leadbeater’s possum Gymnobelideus leadbeateri. The plan considers the conservation requirements of the species across (and beyond) its range and identifies the actions to stop the decline, and support the recovery, of the species such that its chances of long-term survival in nature are maximised.                    Public comment has been invited, with a closing date of 20 May 2016.
