Reflections on what worked and what didn’t in 2023, what we’ve learned, what has changed, and preparation for the year ahead. This is going to be a big year. Will you join me?
2024 - the year of great happenings for the East Gippsland Verge Garden group.
The group was started in November, just on time for a big of publicity and connection building before Christmas.
January saw the launch of the publicity for the fist EGVG meet and greet - a very informal gathering to stimulate personal connections and talk about the idea of verge gardens and how/where individuals can start. The meeting is in February and has already generated a lot of interest, new members and personal contact from two interested persons. I hope to continue these informal meetings through the year.
For those people who want to be more active in a bigger arena, we can discuss connecting with local groups and especially the local Council.
After that, who knows as the group will decide directions and actions. I feel it is very important to maintain space in the group for individual gardeners who do not want to participate in other actions.
Personally I am looking forward to learning more about group leadership and motivation.

Yes, most residents will only want to do their garden and for them the local group provides examples and information about plants and policies.
The verge garden meetings are a great way to get things going. I look forward to seeing photos after your event in February.
