Is it time for an autumn clean out?
Okay, it's autumn and not very nice outside.
You might be thinking that you'd like a last good clean before winter really settles in.
We're here to help!
We've got a big list of things to do this winter at our Oasis on Hospital road in Newtown and we need a few things to do that. By getting rid of things you no longer want or need you become our farm fairy god-parents!
Our focus this winter is ensuring that our new container gets properly fitted out so we can do more classes and have more school kids come out to the farm and learn about it. We've got a need for some tools so that our volunteers have something to work with when they come in to help. And we'd like to do some fundraising events there, so we're looking for a few things for that. Below is a list of the things that we need in good, working nick.
If you can help (and we really do appreciate it!) please contact Lisa at 027 348 1097 or lisa.long@gmail.com. For more about what we do, check out this page: www.facebook.com...

For the container space:
Slider Doors/Ranch sliders/french doors (with working lock)
Old sail shade or similar

Outdoor space:
Mailbox
