1. The Process Working group are drafting a Communication and Decision Making Process framework to review by the community.
2. We still need volunteers to become the Facilitators of the Groups. Several groups are already active, including EVE and the Old Dairy facilities management group. If everyone can join and participate in one group that will really help reduce the workload of others and move the community forward.
Please email support@villagehub.com.au if you can coordinate any group related to your interest. There are over 40 to choose from. Many are not overly active yet so there is very little work to do.
2. All Members - Please join the Groups you are interested in, to receive information on those topics The main AllMembers Group will soon be used for Generic Key Community information only.
3. Please keep your Profiles up to date.

Gardening is creative, nurturing and imparts a sense of belonging to any community. If you have questions about gardening, so many resources are available about this subject on the internet and in great books. We hope that those new to gardening and those with a few 'old' tips will share and learn in this space together.
I never had any other desire so strong, and so like to covetousness, as that one which I have had always, that I might be master at last of a small house and a large Garden. ~Abraham Cowley, The Garden, 1666
