Community Garden News

Permaculture Cairns has grown substantially over the last months and the time is right to begin the process of creating a home for our group. The following link in Google Maps will take you to an aerial photo of the proposed site which has been shaded green. 

The size of the proposed site on MacNamara St (next to PCYC) is about 5 acres

On the 16th of June 2008, thirty inspired individuals met and en – VISION - ed a community garden for Cairns. This is a transcript, (give or take the coloured textas and the recycled butchers paper), of their reponses to the questions that were posed.

What we’d like you to do, is have a look at the following Brainstorm Report and add your own comments in the spaces provided below each section. Where relevant we’d also like you to indicate what you feel are the short, medium and long term priorities.

Our special thanks to Murray Korf who has created a structural framework from which to begin, that will entertain all these ambitions and facilitate its fruition. We hope that this will make it easier for you to identify what needs to be done and assist you in deciding how and what you are able to contribute to assist the process.

This organic process is one of inclusiveness and we welcome all input from anyone who cares enough to see this project through to fruition.

Please have your responses back to us no later than the Friday 11th July, which is in time for our next community garden meeting. Details as follows:

Site Inspection

What: The purpose will be to inspect the site and begin looking at design possibilities. Outlining the projects structural organization and seeing who can fit in where is a priority. Our vision for an Education Center on Sustainability & Community Garden for Cairns will grow, come and help plant the seeds……

When: Sun July 13th 2008 @ 3pm

Who: Everyone is encouraged to attend and participate in this next important step.

Where: Macnamara Street off Greenslopes St around the corner from Cominos House. Between the PCYC and Watson Oval.

Let’s make an afternoon of it! Bring a plate of food to share, lots of enthusiasm, wonderful ideas and a spirit of communication and cooperation.
