Point Chevalier

Welcome to Transition Point Chevalier (TPC)

We have four sub-groups up and running: a Gardening Group with its own Community Garden at the Old Homestead, a Library Group, and a Purchasing Group. A project subgroup also successfully organised a Treasure Hunt for Point Chevalier.

For more detailed information please see the minutes from our monthly meetings below.

Our steering group is obsolete - we just need a party to finish ourselves off. We'd love to see you at one of our monthly meetings or a sub-group meeting! General meetings for 2010 will be held at the Old Homestead, corner of Alberta St and Pt Chevalier Rd at 7.30pm on the first Thursday of the month. There will be no meeting in December. Meetings for the year therefore are: February 4, March 4, April 1, May 6, June 3, July 1, August 5, September 2, October 7, November 4.

Today's activity at the Community Garden

Submitted by Heidi on 29 May 2010 - 6:29pm

At one at the community garden today, Ellen, Deryn and Ally planted garlic (yay!) down by the older compost pile, and trimmed the greens off some of the kumara, and harvested some kumara (not very productive for the amount of greens, apparently.) These trimmings were put on the younger compost pile. E,D and A may have done more jobs too.
