Ardeer Community Planting

Ardeer residents once again got together on Saturday to plant in the Ardeer Community Park. Another 400 plants were planted in a great mornings work. The rain held off until the plants were in the ground and we hope they will get enough to get a good soak in the next few days.

We hope to make this a regular monthly event and start a vegie swap where residents can bring their surplus vegies from their garden to share with neighbours

Lakes Reserve opening

I attended the opening of the beautiful lakeside playground created as one of the regional parks in Brimbank.

Even though the day was blustery, many families turned out to enjoy the BBQ, music and to explore the fantastic new imaginative playspace.

Community planting at Ardeer Park
Over 20 people again turned out to help plant the new indigenous flower garden. Thankfully a few spots of rain are keeping the plants alive!

Ardeer Community Playground Bonanza
In another great effort by our community, we have had a donation of 1000 locally indigenous tubestock which were planted on Sunday 14th July 2009 by a mass of local volunteers.

The plants are a welcome contribution that have allowed the Ardeer Community Playground Committee to increase the density of planting around the creek, playground and paths. And once grown, these will make the whole area a very beautiful place to be.

Ardeer Community Playground Grand Opening and Carols in the Park
We held a celebratory Opening Ceremony event of the Ardeer Community Playground and Park on Tuesday 2nd December 2008. This event was held in conjunction with our annual Christmas Carols in the Park event to celebrate the work of our community in redeveloping our local park. The event involved children from our two local primary schools, two local secondary schools and local kindergarten. Approximately 700 people attended. Rod Quantock was the Master of Ceremonies for the event, which included fireworks, a sausage sizzle, a tour of the park and playground, performances of Christmas carols by the school students and children, and the opportunity to hang a home-made decoration on the wishing tree.
