Growing Accolades

The purpose of a garden is not a rush to que up for honours or clambour for prestige. There is lots of quiet digging of holes and shifting of soil and tending day after day. Lots of little hands making efforts, frail hands, young hands, old hands, lots of daily fronting up and getting hands dirty, people who have to focus hard to extend their reach to plant, experimenters who are creating new learnings, other people with focused time, people with dedicated time, others who have to find time, make time, squeeze gardening in, volunteers, quiet service, incidental contributions, gardeners who garden for themselves, gardeners who garden to give, gardeners who swear at the weeds, gardeners who do the slog and gardeners who are there to taste the fruits when they come in. But it is nice to be noticed. Blacktown City Council have acknowledged our long journey in this years Garden Competition. Here's to those who have contributed to our growing garden over the last six (6) years. They do their bit.
