Today the weather was amazing for our Open Day.
We had amazing people come from all over to check out our house and what Flowerdale has to offer.
We would like to thank Murrindindi Shire Council for funding Blu Sky Pony Rides to come out. They were a great hit.
Thank you to everyone who came and supported the stall holders, raffle and auction.
The house made over $2000 for our Youth Group Program and over $200 for our Playgroup program.
Thank you to Mayor Damian Gallegar, Deb McKimmie , Annie Robertson, the Quilters and Crafters Group ,Pauline Ann Norris , Jeanette Williams , Adrian, Sarah Hopkins Bill Jurrjens, Gillys Meats, Flowerdale Hotel, The Little Scissor Shop, Flowerdale Valley, Little Italy, and so many more im sure for helping the day come together.

During a crazy busy day at the house we realised there was another swarm out the back of the Community House.
We called Charlie again from Dindi Bee Supplies and he came very quickly to collect the swarm . He also checked our hive to see what is going on.
We can't thank Charlie enough. Support Charlie Dindo Bees Yea if you can.

Imagine every neighbourhood in Victoria thriving, where people of all ages and backgrounds can access support, build skills, find connection, and belong. Neighbourhood Houses are the heart of these communities, offering vital services, education, and a welcoming place for everyone.
With restored funding, we can continue to:
- Keep our doors open for the most vulnerable
- Deliver emergency food and material relief
- Support volunteers and strengthen social connection
- Build safer, healthier, more resilient communities
Support Neighbourhood Houses to support communities:

Neighbourhood Houses deliver enormous social and economic value. But with the NHCP rate 20% lower than a decade ago, open hours have dropped to their lowest level in 10 years.

Rose Elsom has been working hard over the last few weeks sprucing up the Flowerdale Community Garden after the winter sleepy period.
It's all ready for planting. She deserves a medal for shovelling 4 meters of soil into the beds. 💪

❤️ Garden beds topped up
❤️Weeds killed on path ways and
❤️The beautiful totems pained last year assembled to greet you along the fence.

Thank you Rose for all you dedication and continuous commitment to our Community Garden.
