Eachy Peachy Pudding and Pie!
Sunday, August 15th, 2010Oh what a night! A ‘WOW” of a time was had by all who attended our Garden Party Fundraiser at Each Peach café on August 14.
Three eras of garden party were emulated. One room was set in the theme of a 1930s earthy soiree; another as a 50s outdoor-diner; and another as a 70s disco-BBQ. Helen and the gorgeous Each Peach staff provided us with an outrageously scrumptious 3 course meal whilst Buckleys beer and Allira wines ensured that everyone had a jolly ol’ time.
A bedazzling array of raffle prizes were up for grabs with generous donations from Melbourne Aquarium, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Readings books, Madman, The SBS Shop, The Abruzzo Club, and Fitzroy Therapeutics.
Guests were entertained by comedian, Daniel Burt along with our own didgeridoo player and story sharer, Shane Clarence.
It was also Bernie’s birthday so we got to help her celebrate too.
Thank you to all who came along.

@ MCCG site with the Urban Carpenters
The Urban Bush Carpenters are coming to the MCCG to help us learn about and build raised garden beds, wooden planter boxes and compost bins. The fellas use found timber and pellets to make these fantastic additions to any garden and are going to be available all day on Saturday the 7th of August to work alongside volunteers and create some of the structural raised gardens and compost bays for the Merri Corner Community Garden. A great day to come down and do some bush carpentry and learn some new skills. Bring some lunch, or something to share and make a day of it! Everyone is welcome!
Interested?
RSVP by email or phone Bernie on 0401 476 839.
UPDATE!
We’ve just collected a about 130metres worth of timber from Lismore for the edges of the raised beds. Check out Gavin hard at work sorting the wheat from the chaff:
