Covid 19
Due to the current reinstatement of restrictions on gatherings and movement, we have no alternative but to continue to keep the Garden closed. The Macleod Vegie Swap will also not go ahead for now.

All produce from the community garden is being donated to BANSIC for distribution to those in need.
