Planet Replant donates to the Marton Community Garden Project
16 January 2016Yesterday 15 Jan 2016
I went though Planet Replants stock of pots and planter bags, root trainers, seed trays and garden stakes and took a small ute load down to the garden.
They wont need to buy planter bags for years :)
having these items at the garden means I will now be able to take cuttings off my numerous food bearing plants and pot them up in advance of the new garden beds so they will be ready to plant out once the plots have been built up and are ready to plant. It also means that when Project Marton holds its yearly Marton Market Day the MCG members will be able to sell seedlings from the root trainers to raise funds for the garden's future needs. All stock donated yesterday was either bought by or donated to Planet Replant so its good for me to be able to give these things to a local project where they will be put to good use. I'll add a pic of it all next week when I take another load of materials down.

Update on this project. Unfortunately I had to withdraw my support to this Garden Project as it became obvious that its more a 'Committee' Garden and the general public cant go in and plant anything they like so this project doesn't fit my criteria for donations or support. Molly from Mollys trolley stuck it out supporting them with her time for 12 months after I withdrew before also splintering off to start Mollys Trolley Garden which is more in line with my visions of what a proper Community Garden is.
