Working Bees
Working bees are held on each Sunday, Monday and Thursday mornings. Working bees run from approximately 10:00 am to Noon. We do various tasks around the Farm, including compost building, making aerated compost brews, planting, maintaining and harvesting long beds for market garden style growing and more. Beginner gardeners are very welcome. We also do pruning, propagating, removing stumps, planting trees, repairing tools, mowing, watering,weeding and many other tasks, depending upon the season. A plant clinic is also incorporated into the Sunday working bee to help gardeners identify pests and diseases and learn how to deal with them using organic methods. These working bees will also, from time to time, incorporate workshops on various topics to help participants increase their gardening skills.
Monthly Mingle
On the 3rd Sunday each month from midday to 3pm we have a regular Monthly Mingle. These are social occasions where we share lunch and chat about things of mutual interest. Sometimes we have guest speakers In the colder months we often fire up the pizza oven. These are excellent relaxed occasions to get to know other members of the Canberra City Farm, find out what is going on around the farm and talk about things of mutual interest. More information about what is on for a particular monthly mingle can be found here.
