South Surrey Park, Surrey Hills, Australia

We had a successful working bee planting along Bonner Street on one of the approaches to South Surrey Park on Sunday 28 August 2011. Here are some photos

On the last Sunday in July, nearly 100 volunteers from the local community plus various schools, Scouts, etc congregated in Glen Iris to plant about 1800 seedlings along Gardiners Creek before enjoying a delicious barbecue courtesy of City of Boroondara and Friends of Gardiners Creek. This Sunday 28 August we’ll be back in our own Park, helping City of Boroondara to plant the Bonner Street nature strip, behind the Riversdale Road Scout Hall, from 10 am. Wear suitable clothes including sturdy footwear, gardening gloves and sunhat, and stay afterwards for free drinks, bickies and a chat. Tuesday Toilers have been particularly busy this month, planting more trees and shrubs along the Riversdale Road bank plus removing uteloads of weeds and rubble from a future plantation site below the end of Anderson Street. Join us around 10 am any Tuesday near the pond below Union Road before we move to that day’s worksite. If you don’t find us initially, wander down the creek and we’ll catch up
