We have lots of tickets to Jack Johnson’s concert to give away on the night.

Hoping to see you all there and thanks in advance for your support.
Growing Communities Team.

To celebrate the occasion we are having our first ever fundraiser on the 2nd December at Muooz Eritrean Restaurant in Moorooka.

On the night there will be a banquet feast of traditional Eritrean food catering for all palates, as well as Jack Johnson’s concert tickets as lucky door prices, raffles, silent auctions and exquisite entertainment by a selection of fine local artists.

If you would like to help us maximise this opportunity write down the date on your diary and stay tune for booking details. Given the short notice, if you can’t make it, please pass on the info through you networks and/or drop us a donation. There is a the opportunity that Jack’s charity org will match up the money we raise dollar for dollar, so the more the better.

We will be having a table at the Village Green tent on the concert day, coincidentally we are urgently looking for two awesome volunteers to attend our table. If you are keen send us an email gc@growingcommunities.org.au

Hope to see you at Muooz on the 2nd for a cultural experience, fundraiser end of year party celebration.

After much thought and discussions we are forced to make this decision due to the large number of projects and commitments Growing Communities currently has, as well as circumstances outside our control affecting the event’s programing.

In the mean time we will be organising and programming the 2011 Learning in the Garden Seminar, which will happen in parallel with the 6th World Environmental Education Congress (WEEC) 19 – 23 July 2011 at Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. More info at  http://www.weec2011.org/

We’d like to frame the 2011 Learning in the Garden Seminar along the same themes as the 6th WEEC – Explore, Experience & Educate. We are keen to hear any ideas or suggestions that you would like included in next year’s event.

We are also considering organising an Australian School Garden Network gathering as part of next year’s seminar. It’s been more than 3 years since we last gathered the Australian school garden community and we think next year’s linking to an international event will be a great opportunity to do so again.

If you want to received update for this and other events, please leave us your details on the contact us page.

Thanks for all your understanding and support.

The LITG team.
On behalf of Growing Communities

This year’s seminar will focus on building the necessary knowledge and skills to drive a school garden from its inception, to its growth and the harvesting of teaching and learning for sustainability. This year’s program will feature:

* Interactive sessions on planning and curriculum integration
* Growing and engaging the whole school community and beyond
* Funding and resourcing the garden and other sustainability initiatives
* Using the garden to develop a school environmental management plan (SEMP) and a shared vision

Keeping in line with this program, are there any ideas or suggestions you would like featured at the seminar?  Please comment below and we hope to see you there.
