Bellingen Seed Savers - Fanton workshop at Bellingen Northbank Community Garden 12 October 2014

☂Transition Bellingen

Irene reports

"What a fabulous day we had with Jude and Michel Fanton at Northbank Community Garden.  We were so lucky that they were able to be with us.   The weather was perfect and the garden looked amazing as Jude and Michel shared their knowledge, philosophy, skills and friendship with everyone.  There are many photos of the day at http://tbeventspics.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/bellingen-seedsavers-fantons-workshop.html

Many, many thanks to Steve Smith and the team at NCG - we loved working with them and the Fantons were full of praise for them.

Thanks to everyone who came for their presence and their seed and plant contributions."

‘Seed Saving in Your Garden, and Globally’ 

Forty people from Bellingen Seed Savers enjoyed an amazing day at Northbank Community Gardens.

Bellingen Pedestrian and Bike Survey closes 16 October 2014

Suggestion for  an item for the  Bellingen Pedestrian and Bike survey which closes on 16 October 2014 

"Many walkers ( I disclose a personal interest here) and less ambulatory people would appreciate the extension of the footpath which runs alongside Waterfall Way and the Bellingen Golf Club grounds.  It currently terminates less than half a kilometre short of the Old Butter Factory.

Extending the footpath would provide a pleasant walk for locals and tourists, access for prams, mobility scooters and wheelchairs with the opportunity for refreshments and shopping at the end.  And you could leave your car at home and have a glass of wine with lunch (no disclosure here !)"
