Sunday 16th, 23rd & 30th November 2014 – Strawbale Workshop (Building of the Garden Seats)
‘Strawbale Selene’ will lead us through the art and science of strawbale building over three Sundays in November. Our North East Piazza is coming to life with two lovely seats.
The Glen Forrest Community Garden and friends got to work early on a hot and sunny Sunday morning to get started on our straw bale seats under the expert guidance of ‘Straw bale Selene’
First off was mixing the concrete with measured amounts of cement, water and sand and aggregate pre-mix.
And preparing the area where the footings were to go, digging, measuring and putting in form work.
As batches of concrete were mixed they were poured into the formwork.
The concrete was carefully topped up and levelled.
And screeded to a smooth finish.
Spikes that were incorporated into the concrete footings were covered with bottles for safety while the concrete set.
Our second strawbale workshop was a bit cooler with a nice breeze.
Where we left off from Strawbale Workshop 1 – footings complete and spikes ready to receive straw bales.
‘Strawbale Selene’ explains the next tasks to be done to those gathered around (most of whom you can’t see in this picture!).
Plastic was placed over the footings and secured around the posts to act as a water-proof membrane.
Straw bales needed to be shaped to a gentle curve by carefully aimed karate kicks or similar techniques.
The straw bales were then carefully lowered onto the spikes to align with the footings.
Rendering well underway.
A partly rendered seat and some deep discussion.
And voila, after another good days work, one of our rendered strawbale seat.
Congratulations to the hard workers and helpers! Around 20 people participated in the various tasks or just popped by to see what was going on and say hello. It was hot work but a tremendous team effort.

High Tea at the Garden – 20th July 2014
One Sunday Vicki brought along a most wonderful morning tea. We had tea from a tea-pot drunk from china mugs. And we had an amazing array of biccies, including shortbread in shapes of all sorts of fruits and vegies – pears, plums, carrots. A great way to top off a morning of mulching. Thanks Vicki.
Wednesday 19th March 2014 – AGM
We had a great AGM on the 19th with 16 people attending. Viv at the the Glen Forrest Gourmet supplied us with delectable quiches, incorporating pumpkin and rosemary grown in the community garden. We elected office bearers for our committee for the coming year and after due discussion and deliberation arrived, by consensus, at our choice of logo for the group. All will be revealed soon.
AGM
The Glen Forrest Community Garden will be holding its 2nd AGM on Wednesday 19th March 2014 at the Glen Forrest Gourmet Cafe on Railway Pde in Glen Forrest from 6pm.
