Hope…It Grows! Project Worker

St Matthew’s is gaining a small community garden, and after a long haul, we have a Project Worker, Susie Scott.

Susie has spent many years living in Bendigo. She has a background in fine art and community gardens. Susie has spent time working in Indigenous communities, with Karen refugees, and with youth in Bendigo. She is inspired by traditional agriculture and living simply, and finds enjoyment in walking, gardening, and working in the area of community development.

Susie would love you to be part of designing and creating the garden. You can be involved in many different ways, including gardening, seed growing and artwork.

The Hope…It Grows! garden is open:

  • Tuesdays: 9am – 5pm
  • Fridays: 9am-5pm
  • Saturdays: 10am-2pm

You can contact Susie by phone or email:

Vale David Boyce

David Boyce, a stalwart of the Long Gully community, has died suddenly. David was a tireless contributor to community programs: Energetic Street Community Garden, Mensheds as well as the committee of the Long Gully Neighbourhood Centre.

As well as leaving behind  his family, he leaves behind many sad people like myself, who will not only miss his hat and handlebar moustache, but his belief that a community is grown through small steps of positive contribution. Dave made countless small steps like this that enabled so many positive things to happen.

He took the last small step last week, but he took a great leap in his life.

Rest in peace.
