Green mapThere were so many ideas to put on the map that we decided we need to go to a professional for help. Marion is going to contact Jim D. to see what he can do. Marion also has a list of local organic food suppliers which will be of interest to include if possible.
BooksMarion has agreed to look after the group "gardening" library. Kaaren has made a large donation of books and magazines. If you have any items youd like to share then please let Marion know and she will produce a booklist for us of whats available in the group. PS Marion would also like some pond plants if you have any to spare.
