GREEN OASIS JOURNAL NO. 9
April Grass Re-Seeding Work Party During the Easter weekend, SAPHRA issued a call for help from the neighbours to show up and help re-seed the lawn as the grass has gotten quite patchy in places. A nice size group congregated around the Green Oasis to carry out the efforts, very kindly organised by SAPHRA's Kathy, Angela and Roger. Team Work Thankfully the weather was fantastic on the day. And the group to get on with the gardening work while chatting to each other and the passers-by. Full of communal and neighbourly vibe :) Spotting The Honey Bees The locally elected councillor Juliet Voisey joined the effort and helpfully provided the seeds and some plants. As an experienced bee keeper, she pointed out the honey bees buzzing around the dandelion flowers. Dandelions are great for bees although they are often considered as weeds. Based on the advice, the group decided to keep the dandelions and some other non-invasive native grown plants in the ground as they are. Men At Work Ron
