We’re in the process of finalising a permaculture childrens playgroup in Braybrook.

The details so far:

PROBABLY monday morn – but this is not fixed yet, 2 hours every week. A chance to work on the gardens, take home food, grow things together, learn new skills. Participants will need Playgroup Vic family membership ($25 per year/$15 concession). This covers all insurance. There may be a further charge, but this is being wrangled out with the centre.

DEFINITELY Braybrook Community Centre Community Gardens

STARTING in Feb, next year.

If you have some kids and would be interested in being kept informed of developments, send an email to playgroup@pow.org.au
