Gathering Gardens

Gathering gardens are designed primarily to be a place where you can come to Gather/pick your own fresh produce, but also with further development a place for gathering people together to share new ideas, learn about truth, sustainable building, environment recovery, enjoy live music, Vegan eats, dancing, health and fitness and much more!

Guidelines

•Do not come on to the property without registering and getting confirmation first. Email giftedearthoffice@gmail.com with your Full name, Email address and Mobile number if you're interested.

• Please aim to be as self-sufficient as possible
• Be present and stay connected to yourself
• Pick leaves that are encroaching the pathways first to give yourself and others good access

• Where possible pick the outer leaves and leave the main stem and a few young leaves

• No knives, hand secateurs are fine, I normally just use my hands to break off the leaves
• Stick to the pathways to prevent garden bed compaction
• Do not jump up and down on the pavers and definitely no sledgehammers!
• No cash left on the property at this time, if you'd like to donate please bank transfer (details are on the donations page at www.giftedearth.net)
• Bring your own food containers, cold packs etc
• Feel free to "bundle" donations to once a month or so, rather than with each picking, to save time and hassle loading websites
