South Surrey Park, Surrey Hills, Victoria Australia

The working bee of Sunday 28 August put in around 1200 seedlings along the embankment down from the playground and the sides of the creek.  A committed group of twelve kept going until nearly all the plants were gone. Adrian's powered hole digger certainly speeds things up. It was quite a long site so we had two planting parties quite separate from each other. A special mention for Suet Mon and her son Thomas, who is in Prep grade - both worked very hard the whole morning. We finished, as usual, with a well earned morning tea.

Sunday Working Bee Report - 26 June 2016 We planted lots of grasses and some shrubs in the bush area just below Delta Street.  The soil was quite moist after the recent heavy rain so punching holes with the Hamilton tree planting tools was easy. As always, we finished with morning tea and a good chat. Our next working bee is Sunday 31 July (also National Tree Day) so come to the park to help with some planting and enjoy the free BBQ lunch provided by the City of Boroondara to participants.

Sunday Working Bee Report - 27th September We had a great day with fourteen people enthusiastically planting at Peter Tucker's direction in the area beside the path from Union Road.  It was good to see Gordana McHugh at her second working bee. We hope she enjoys coming for many more.  Peter talking about the plants and how we go about the working bee. Chloe Campbell has been coming since she was a baby and now she is able to use the Hamilton planter. Here she is at work. One last photo of Peter with Gordana and Fran, our newest members.

Today we planted many native grasses and herbs near Delta Street, "infilling" areas that have been previously planted.   The plants were then watered in and we had our tea, coffee, cake and biscuits.

We had a small but efficient working bee planting an area behind the fence alongside the playground in Verdun Street on Sunday 30th September. Peter Campbell was the event organiser.
