Gardens and Food News
The final produce exchange was celebrated with afternoon tea and trading of autumn bounty. Particular thanks to a neighbour who saw our sign and brought a crate of freshly picked apples.
Solstice feast: the carbon-friendly walking progressive four-course dinner is scheduled for Saturday 18th June.
Please register your interest now, either to host a course, nominate what you'd like to cook, or say which course you'd like to cook for.
We'd like to find out how people interpret 'carbon-friendly'? And we're wondering how to resolve the tension between the desire to be generous/ hospitable with the food we bring, yet not over-eat or squander.
As good earth-keepers / housekeepers, we'll tidy and wash up as we go.

WHEN at Back to West Hobart Day, 15 June 2011
The Transport and the GAF groups presented some fantastic displays at the Back to West Hobart celebration day. We were given a corner in the Lawrenny Court hall and made the most of it!
We had a display of the Walking West Hobart map and had lots of people peering at it. Margaret and Di were able to show many current and former residents the early drafts of our professionally drawn map, which was very exciting. We collected a couple of dozen new ideas for shortcuts and points of interest for the map!
Meanwhile Miriam set up an eye catching display promoting vegie gardening and the GAF group. The pile of Greg's "What to Grow When in West Hobart" were greatly appreciated and disappeared quickly into people's baskets and pockets.
It was a valuable day for promoting our group, and lots of WHEN flyers were taken by people. It was also a fun day, with activities and entertainment happening throughout the day. The organisers, in particular Cynthia Archer, deserve hearty thanks from the community for making it happen.
