This morning, the Friday Gardening Crew swapped their pruners and mowers for dehydrators as they learned the art of preserving fresh produce by dehydrating apples.

Led by Emily Rogers, the workshop provided a wonderful opportunity for participants to connect, learn a new skill, and enjoy a healthy homemade snack along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Community Feast: Celebrating Diversity Through Food at the Macedon & Mount Macedon Community House.

Originally inspired by the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre's Feast for Freedom campaign, our wonderful Community Dinners team took things a step further by preparing and sharing a range of delicious homemade dishes inspired by refugee stories, cultures and cuisines from around the world. All the food got eaten and was super delicious, with quite a few people also contributing dishes.

It was a fantastic evening of food, conversation, connection and cultural celebration, with around 40 community members coming together around the table.

This event was proudly supported by Macedon Ranges Shire Council as part of Neighbourhood House Week, and we sincerely thank MRSC, our dedicated volunteers, Community Dinners team, and everyone who attended and contributed to making the evening such a success.

Watch this space as there will be more Community Dinners to come

Our volunteer gardeners enjoyed a visit from the team from New Gisborne Community Garden during our gardening session last Friday. It was a lovely sunny morning to show them around and chat about how we care for the garden. We followed the tour up with morning tea, seed swaps and discussions around ways that we can continue to share seeds, cuttings, skills, ideas and all the collected wisdom within our two gardening groups. We're looking forward to paying a return visit to the New Gisborne Community Garden soon.
