Getting to know the plants of the Goody Patch.

Tetragonia tetragonioides - Tucker Bush
Warrigal greens is a nutrient-dense, salt-tolerant Australian native groundcover known as New Zealand spinach. Widely used as a cooked spinach substitute, they must be blanched before eating to remove high levels of oxalates. They are fast-growing, thrive in coastal, sandy, or poor soils, and were used to prevent scurvy by early settlers.

All is well at The Goody Patch.

We have been working on achieving lots of goals and we are succeeding at everyone of them.
- changing plants for the season
- reducing pilfering by having a sharing table
- keeping ripening oranges on the trees instead of becoming school time makeshift tennis balls
- controlling rodents
- building a new greenhouse
- moving the compost heap
- welcoming more community members to monthly working bees
- so much more.

Thank you to everyone who contributes to the garden. It’s a pillar of what community and collaboration can deliver.

Experiencing the benefits of a village means you need to be a good villager too. Join us at the first Sunday of the month for working bees. We would love to meet you.
