South Surrey Park, Surrey Hills, Australia

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.

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 wet but productive working bee in the park today.  We spread a large pile of mulch in the planting below Delta Street. The rain eased up toward the end.  We had our tea and coffee near the wooden seat. Back Creek is flowing strongly through the park at the moment due to the recent rainfall. Adrian Hotchin from Borooondara Council, a regular working bee attendee, was absent today as he is in Sydney.  We have some more interesting news on the reason for his trip there to come!
