Drinks at the River
What a lovely way to wrap up the UWG 2025 year with a get together at the river.
Member Contribution by Leonie Stephens
Living in Lake MacDonald, I wanted to have a balanced and harmonious garden, with local native plants that thrived in their natural environment while also providing food and shelter for native species. Some native plants also provide food I can eat.
Wildflower Walk and the Battle to Save Marcus High Dunes
A Wildflower Festival event in the spring sunshine, led by Shaun Walsh, provided a great morning for some eager wildflower walkers.
Winter Worm Farming
With Spring around the corner comes new growth, blooming flowers, longer days and an opportunity to get some slimy friends to help in the garden. Worms slow down in the winter entering a form of dormancy, travelling deep into the soil to conserve energy, many curling into a slime coated ball which helps keep them moist and provides protection against the cold.
Call for Volunteers for Verge Demonstration Garden Working Bee
UWG are planning the installation of our second verge demonstration garden funded by Noosa Council, this time at Peregian Beach. Our committee member Sarah was responsible for the funding submission and is the Project Manager.
Weaving Your Garden
If you visit the Cooroy library during June, you will see another aspect of what’s in YOUR garden.
The past year has provided me with a challenge. In 2024 I took an on-line course in weaving with natural materials by Harriet Goodall. It set me wondering about the potential of the native plants in my own small urban garden.
