Spring Gardening at The Bridge🌺
Bianca from the Bridgewater Nursery brought along some beautiful plants, answered questions about pests, did some plant identification and shared some tips on getting our gardens ready for Spring! It was great to catch up with Sue and Bianca 😊 and meet our new Chaplain, Mark 🙏. Bianca is so knowledgeable 💡and we were delighted to head home with a little treat 🌱🎁. A big thanks to Sue for the catering 🍰– it’s always such a meaningful morning full of wonderful conversations 💖

A big thank you to Howard, Andy, and our local community groups for keeping our Community Garden in such great shape!

Howard has been busy growing a Thai tomato tree from a seed, Japanese potatoes, fresh herbs, lettuce, and rhubarb — all available for the community to pick. 🥗

Healthy eating is one of our Health Promotion priorities, and even though our garden is tucked away during the Acute Redevelopment, it’s thriving under Aileen’s care. 🌿

With beautiful sunny days on the way, it’s perfect garden weather — come up for a walk and check it out! ☀️

There’s nothing quite like the smell of something sweet baking in the oven to bring people together – like a batch of lemon delicious pudding that residents made as a group and enjoyed together over lunch.
When the dessert was finally served, warm and golden from the oven, it was met with delighted smiles.

🌻 Tarnagulla Social Support Group Out & About! 🚐💬

What a fabulous Monday outing we had at the Raillery Hub in St Arnaud! Although the Hub is normally open Fridays to Sundays, we were lucky enough to be warmly welcomed by one of their wonderful volunteers who opened up just for us – and even made us tea and coffee! ☕️🥰 A huge thank you to the kind volunteer team at the Hub – we truly appreciated your time and hospitality.

We explored the galleries filled with local art, admired the heritage-listed 1878 railway station, and learned more with a Rail History Walk Guide. There was so much to take in – from beautiful handmade items in the Creatives and Produce Market to stunning wall art and the painted silo nearby. 🎨🚂

After all that excitement, we headed off to the Shire Café for a delicious lunch and a good chat. So many laughs, shared memories, and new conversations – exactly what our group is all about. 💛

Our social support group is all about staying connected, active and engaged with our community – and days like these are such a joy. If you or someone you know would like to join us, get in touch with Vas on 0456 776 248.
