Autumn equinox celebration at the SWAMP

Board members of the Doylo club at Doyalson presented $2,000 to SWAMP recently to go towards their Winter vegetable gardens

The Sustainable Wetlands Agriculture Makers Project (SWAMP) will hold an Autumn equinox celebration on Sunday, March 21.

Cassie, one of the community group’s founding volunteer members and a Nature Connection facilitator from the Wild Empire, will guide the ceremony and equinox celebration.

Participants will be able to create a mandala with seeds, berries, flowers and other Australian native seasonal botanicals.

For the Seeding the Future ritual, the border of the Apothecary garden will be planted with sweet peas which are traditionally planted at this time of year.

These and other activities will be held from 10am to 12pm at the SWAMP grounds at 1897 South Tacoma Rd, Tuggerah.

The next open day at SWAMP will be held on Sunday, March 28, when everyone is welcome to go along to explore the activities on offer.
