LFG Garden Visit to Doreen and Jamies at Jimboomba
November 10, 2019 from 9:30am to 12:30pm
Doreen and Jamie purchased a 5 acre property in Jimboomba 3 years ago. They are implementing their permaculture design and aiming to be off grid and more self sufficient. You will see different perennial growing systems. Water harvesting earthworks, a grey water garden and wicking beds. Hot and cold smokers are on display and a life demonstration of the Smokehouse.

Hi Angie,
Have not forgotten that LFG are visiting our home on 15th Nov. - Just to let you know that we are going to be away until the end of Oct. in case you are trying to contact us! - Regards,

Hi Angie, With the help of an experienced native bee keeper, Lawrie and I recently split some native bee boxes after Lawrie had successfully managed to transfer two boxes worth of bees from some logs we had to the new boxes. In September 2015, we hoped to run a workshop for LFG on transferring native bees from logs and splitting bee boxes. It is possible there'll be a box available to a lucky member (using a raffle process, possibly) and there could be some working logs which could also go to members. Could you suggest the best timing for such a workshop, please? We'll be hosting a large family party on the weekend of 26-27 September so would prefer a workshop was either two weeks earlier or later ... in early October. Look forward to your response. Cheers, Liz
