Spring Fever in the Garden!

Spring fever has hit Aldinga and we are really excited with our latest developments, including the reycling of old form work into new raised garden beds, the installation of the chook shed and paving and the awesome hothouse! We were lucky enough to have a bunch of hardworking volunteers join the Garden crew last weekend and the hothouse area was paved and the structure assembled and erected. The hothouse is now going great guns, giving our seedlings a huge boost in the right direction. The weather has been mixed in Aldinga lately, with some cold nights, chilly mornings, cloudy and sunny days and some rain getting sprinkled around too!
Helen McGrice and Mick Fishlock have nearly completed the rendering on the orchard wall and planter tank which looks incredible and really sets of the beautiful mosaics created by students involved in the program.
Our Eat Well Be Active Garden is progressing really well, with a big crop of onions, monster garlic, artichokes, Warigal greens and Rhubarb growing strongly. We have also added some pumpkins to ramble and some aspargus into the beds also.

Some recycled formwork has been screwed together, lined with plastic and geotextile and stencilled to create a fantastic new raised bed.
