Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Greater Dandenong Edible Gardens Project.  The project is co-ordinated by Paul Fogarty and Kim Glasgow from the Permablitz network.  The project is sponsored by the Dandenong Development Board, and supported by the City of Greater Dandenong, Sustainability Victoria and the Department of Planning and Community Development.  This site has been set up to help people get together and have fun learning about, designing and implementing suburban permaculture systems.  Our focus is edible gardens, and our ultimate aim is to make the suburbs edible enough such that should food become unaffordable, we don’t even notice.

Willow Lodge - Blitz #5
Written by Paul Fogarty   
Tuesday, 18 November 2008

Well the pictures speak for themselves for this blitz - check out the before and after photos of Brenda and Rod's places in the Gallery.

The day started at Brenda's where the volunteer crew included Paul and Kim, 12 Willow Lodge locals, 2 from Frankston, 1 from Doveton and 2 from Dandenong Community garden - the mean age was about 65.  The team introduced themselves before looking at the task in front of us: to turn a pile of white rocks on black plastic into a beautiful, productive cottage garden.

Ann-Marie's small scale Blitz
Written by Paul Fogarty   
Tuesday, 18 November 2008

About 30 people, including a brief visit from Planning Minister Justin Madden, volunteered their time to help Ann-Marie turn her patch of lawn into a planted out no-dig vege patch with woodchip paths and potted friut trees.

Another great mixture of new-comers and regulars, young and old, first-time gardeners and experienced gardeners, locals and visitors made for a fantastic social and productive day!
