 What a great week it has been so far. On Saturday morning, I had the opportunity to visit the wonderful Canberra City Farm with Community Gardens Australia, celebrating the community gardens of the ACT at their annual gathering. It is such a valuable public asset, inhabited by an inspiring group and affiliated organisations doing great things - from seed saving to organic growing, biochar making and plant propagation! | | | |
