Local residents and organisations of Strathalbyn have expressed an interest in the vacant lot behind Myranth House in High St, the R-6 Eastern Fleurieu Campus garden and even a proposal to locate vegetable gardens in private backyards. Further interest was expressed at a recent meeting of the Strathalbyn Garden Club, with special guest, Tess Minnett of Duck Flat Community Garden. Karen Barrett of Goolwa is the new Life With Gusto Community Gardens Coordinator, appointed to work with local communities to set up gardens at Milang, Clayton Bay and Strathalbyn. She is currently completing her certificate in Youth Work, has a background in youth projects and programs and is an active and original member of the Cittaslow Goolwa Community Garden. Already the communities of Clayton Bay and Milang have held public meetings and voted to revitalise the garden at Milang Campus, and establish a community garden at Clayton Bay Community Hall. “There is no better way to bring people together than by growing nutritious fruit and vegetables,” said Karen Barrett. “Community gardens are great for healthy exercise, getting to know people, sharing knowledge resources and turning ordinary places into extraordinary ones”, she said. The community gardens and their supporters are looking for local volunteers who are motivated and enthusiastic and wish to develop skills in horticulture, organic or permaculture gardening. Also, volunteers will be given opportunities to grow their own fresh produce, to make good friends, take part in interesting, learning activities, and even work towards qualifications in Active Volunteering.

Meditation has been hugely mystified and I like to keep things simple and definitely achievable. I believe all human beings are inherently spiritual and by learning meditation we are simply learning how to uncover the inner self or light that is already there inside each one of us. This can be challenging at first … well it was for me. I compare it to learning to ride a bike or drive a car, seems pretty tricky at first but once you get the hang of it you begin to experience yourself in a whole new way, and suddenly you’re flying along!It is deeply satisfying to begin to experience the feelings of wholeness peace and connectedness that anyone who has learnt meditation will tell you about, and how by just doing twenty minutes of practice a day you can turn things around in your life in the most delightful way.Group practise is a great way to learn meditation, there is always time to share experiences, ask questions and be buoyed by the energy of a nice group of people with the same aim.I regard learning meditation as the single best thing I have ever done for myself simply because the spinoffs are so remarkably good. Millions upon millions of meditators the world over are getting heaps more than just good view of their navel I can assure you!! Join the meditation group on Thursday evenings, 7:30pm at MOSHCC (28 Daranda Tce, Milang)P.S. Warm comfy clothes and socks are a good idea...we make sure the room is cosy!
