Hosts for the day Michael and Isabelle had only recently moved to Yeronga, and having had to leave their well established veggie garden behind, were eager to get started transforming their new property.

Approximately 15 local gardening and permaculture enthusiasts descended and set to work on no-dig and biointensive double-dig garden beds. These were planted out with an abundance of tropical root vegetables including sweet potato, cassava and arrowroot.

Isabelle prepared an amazing stew from home grown veggies cooked to perfection with her solar cooker, and everyone tucked into delicious bliss balls, dips and fresh veggies for morning tea.

The day was facilitated by the wonderful folks at Transition Annerley. If you live in the area and want to connect with others preparing for energy descent, get down to the Annerley Sustainability Fair, this coming Saturday the 19^th June.
