Dear March St Gardeners & Visitors

I was advised on Friday 1 May 2020 by Council that our community garden can be reopened. Today Monday 4 May 2020, the committee met to discuss how the new rules will apply to us all in order for us to operate the garden again. 

All members have a duty of care to one another to ensure we work in a safe and a virus-free environment using the social distancing measures.

•  Friday morning tea will recommence on Friday 12 June.
•  Please bring your own mug and thermos as the club cups are still off limits.
•  Exercise a 1.5 metre social distance between each other as some of our members are elderly.
•  If you are unwell, PLEASE DON’T ATTEND (stay home and recover).
•  Bring garden tools from home.
•  If you need to use club tools, please ensure you wear latex or dish washing gloves when using the tools.
•  Dish washing gloves can be cleaned and re-used.
•  Sign in and out using gloves.

WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
•  Remove the weeds from pathways and your garden beds.
•  Please take weeds home with you for green bin pick up by Council.
•  Chicken pen needs to be cleaned and the pumpkin vine removed from the fence.
•  Various overhanging plants from garden beds need to be pruned back.
•  The continuation of the weeding of the Camellia beds.
•  The continuation of weeding and preparation of the community beds for planting.

Regards
John Hoskin, Chairperson/Treasurer
