Christmas gift ideas from GGGYO!

Congratulations to Grow Grow Grow Your Own who have completed another year of popular workshops! Here is their suggestion for an excellent gift.
The Shed at Clarence Park Community Centre have dibbers for sale. A dibber is a pointed wooden stick for making holes in the ground so that seeds, seedlings or small bulbs can be planted. These make great Christmas presents. They also have some flat pack bird nesting boxes and bird feeders available for $15.
Contact Kirsten, klindsay@unley.sa.gov.au or 8293 8166, Mon-Thurs 9am-3pm, Fri 9am-12 noon.
Best wishes for a happy and safe Christmas from all of us in Grow Grow Grow Your Own. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year - our first workshop for 2022 is on Sunday 13 February.
