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.

cheers - Judy

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.
