Mother Nature wants you to join a community garden

What's the most important part of the phrase "community garden"? It would be easy to say "garden" — because that's the part you can see. The real answer to this trick question is "community" and that means you.

There are many reasons to join a community garden: learn a new skill, teach your kids where food comes from, save money, help the environment, have a reason to get outside regularly and share with others. These reasons — and many more — fuel the people who grow food at a community garden.

So with all that in mind why not make your way to the annual general meeting of the Twin Towns Community Gardens group. It takes place on Wednesday next, February 23 at 7.30pm.

All outgoing members are welcome. New members are also invited to come along too and find out about this exciting initiative.

The garden is a reflection of the energy everyone puts into it. Your small contributions add up to a greater garden experience for all so why not get along and enjoy the great outdoors.
