Saturday 28 July between 10am and 2pm Join Lord Mayor Clover Moore and Gardening Australia’s Angus Stewart at Sydney Park, St Peters – near the historic brick kilns and Chimneys precinct and the new children’s playground – Map
Bring the kids along to pat farm animals, enjoy fresh fruit, plant some herbs and learn about sustainable living. Get inspired by a gardening demonstration by Angus Stewart from ABC Gardening Australia.
City of Sydney wants to know what we think of the proposed city farm, so this is a chance to tell the Council our own hopes and vision for Sydney’s first city farm.

There have been a few changes on the Committee this year. Andrew Jackson our President and Liesje Clement our Design Manager are in Namibia until December 2012, where Andrew is working on a film project.
Vanessa Pilla will be Acting President until their return. Liesje will continue to fulfil her role as Design Manager, thanks to the efficiency of online communication.
