Growing Food, Growing Community - Celebrating ‘Neighbour Day’

Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 at 07:52PM by Registered CommenterHappyEarth in | CommentsPost a Comment

Sustainable living is as much about growing community as it is growing food. The last Sunday in March each year is neighbour day, which encourages us to say g’day and keep in touch with our neighbours. There’s no buying badges or trinkets that just end up in the bin, and no donations to make.

We find growing food is such a valuable way to build community relations. There’s always produce and flowers to share over the fence, as well as stories about what’s growing and what wildlife has come in to visit. And we’re sure our crazy garden gets people far and wide talking! So say g’day and plant a fruit tree this Sunday – even better plant it with your neighbours! See http://www.neighbourday.org for more info.
