On Friday our local State MP, Tim Read, popped in to the Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre to meet our team, hear about our education and community development work, and view our beautiful community garden!
Here we both are inspecting our compost!
We have a big community composting program that reduces organic waste going to landfill and we sell the compost back to the community for $5 a bag.

I wasn't going to encourage people to vote in the People's Choice for the Merri-bek Summer Show art exhibit my photo is in, but WHY NOT! Just click the link, put my name, and your email and hit submit! The work is about #ClimateChange and the threat to #bees and food systems.
I have added the description of the artwork in the alt text if you didn't see it when I posted it a few weeks back.
Four of us can't vote, but we're having a sausage while watching democracy! #democracysausage #vicvotes #auspol
