RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY GARDEN NEWS
Back on 10 May, the Forbes Riverside Community Garden held a pre-Mother’s Day fundraiser, with the proceeds of a morning tea, the sale of cut-flowers, plants, produce and assorted pottery - donated by Serendipity Pottery - to go to Forbes CanAssist.
Some lucky mothers received both flowers and vases in which to place them.
A raffle was conducted, with first and second prizes of pots finished in mosaic and donated by Gardens member, Marion, and handicraft items for third prize created by Gardens member Morgan.
Thanks go to everyone who contributed to the day, and on the day, in whatever way. It was a group effort for a popular cause.
