A few of us have been talking about another garden group meeting to begin coordination of all landscape planning, execution and maintenance tasks – in other words to create what Robin Allison would call a "focus group” .
Currently, we seem to have several sub groups: – a Vegetable Gardening group led by Donald and Miriam, – a Garden Tools Group led by (I think) Ngaire, – a Lawn-establishing Group led by (I think) Anthony, – a children’s and young persons area, led by (I think) Jessica, Some people have expressed interest in being part of the Heritage Fence Group.
But an overall Grounds Group would establish and coordinate subgroups for things ranging from important as design to as mundane as the rubbish. (Re design, Maria has signalled an interest in being part of this but not leading it.)
Does anyone have any thoughts about how best to establish this? Min, Jessica, Pip, Ngaire and I can all attend a meeting this Sunday to get things underway, but’s there has been a bit of a silence from others who are in the Whats App Gardening Group. Are we better to wait till we are in residence when attendance will be so much easier?
Any thoughts? Gay

Hi Gay - I think we would manage a focus group meeting better once we are all on site. It is our intention to have an Edible garden meeting then. Thank you. Donald

Hello. Thanks Gay. I think we should wait til we're on site. Much easier then and no particular urgency.
Re tools - I've started a tools list, not really a group as such.
Re lawn - Anthony and I have taken the lead on this.

Hi Gay, I think it is a very good idea to have overall co-ordination of all our outdoor groups. I am getting quotes for our rubbish skips - so far only Envirowaste have shown interest and they are coming back to me with a proposal. This should be a short term focus but very important to have before we move in. As soon as I have more info, I shall be in touch.
