Food Foraging workshop that happened last Saturday was very successful. leslie who is part of the CTFGI came along and taught us how to prepare East Asian foods that can be sourced from the garden. Lots of spring onions, my chickens organic eggs , Eggplants and of course the good old sweet potato leaves.

Thanks to PJ Riverlodge Backpackers who kindly allowed us to use his indoor/outdoor space for the cooking aspect of the day

We all were inspired and blessed x

2 weekends ago I was so grateful for the Pinelands 1st Scouts group that came and helped in the garden. They did 6 hours of community service and boy they worked hard!
They cleaned up our storm water drain , just in time for that massive storm that hit us the following week & helped sort out our old childrens garden

We have lots of people that pass through the Om garden. But once in a while you meet somebody that you have a special connection to.
Lisa is from the Netherlands and she offered to volunteer at the Om garden for a week. She helped re-organise the new nursery, weeded the circle garden , weeded pathways, did seed propagation, no job was an issue-- she just got on with it and had a lovely energy while keeping busy... her ear plugs in, hand held blender with special vegan recipes 😘and great conversation.
Thank you Lisa for spending time with us ###

Hop a long Harry was dumped in the om village a few mths ago. He had a broken leg n was not happy. He found his way to the om garden and we took him in and he rested up. He is now thankfully happy n managing to put weight on the leg.
He is very vocal and a delight to sit and watch.

What I love about the garden is that it pushes you to do things u wouldn't usually do.
Example - St Georges Grammer service hour.
6 girls , a pile of wood chips, 2 wheelbarrows n a bit of umph ! 1 hour later ... my nursery is fully mulched. Hats off ladies to you 👏

2025 was the “year of the Snake” - representing renewal and shedding of old habits for growth. Also referred to as ‘the little Dragon’.
