Trellis Session: Concepts and Capacities

1. Marilyn Palmer (ECU Bunbury Campus Community Garden and Community Practice Educator)

2. Sandra Krempl (Trillion Trees)

3. Emma and David Vosnacos (North Perth Community Garden)

4. Speaker on Networks (TBC)

The following were observations from this session:

The difficulty of managing groups and the level of governance required to run a community garden were prominent in the thinking.

North Perth CG has some templates which we may be able to share in!

It would be good to further expand on ‘group energy’ and ‘how to keep the momentum going’. Equally, the value of educational workshops and increasing these.

The connection between spirituality and community gardens, having a tidy HQ and the shared and varying levels of knowledge in the room, all stood out as interesting.
