My most important connection in Port Melbourne is the Uniting Church. I’ve been a member of the congregation since 1988 and have worked part time as the Simply Living Project worker since 2007. The best part of that has been the development of the Simply Living Community Garden, which was built in 2008.
The three best things about the garden for me are: (i) meeting all the people who come to use it – whether they are coming to do gardening or cooking, using the community composting bays, picking herbs, just looking at what is growing or sitting in the shade or sunshine; (ii) working with children as they learn how to grow food plants and interact with the garden creatures; and (iii) the social cooking groups which are a fun way for people to cook with the produce that has been grown and share their knowledge and stories.
