FALL HARVEST BBQ!!!

Fall Harvest BBQ!!!

Everyone is welcome at this year's ECGS Fall Harvest BBQ! Whether you're an ECGS member, a fellow gardener or a hungry member of the public, you’re invited to Anderson Park on Saturday, September 24th, where we will be serving up free hot dogs and burgers!
Now remember it's a Harvest BBQ, so to complement the meat, we are asking people to share with us something they've grown, picked, caught or bought locally. Raw, grilled, baked or otherwise, everything is welcome! We are also going to be collecting any garden fresh or non-perishable food donations as part of the ECGS's commitment to Victoria Grow-a-Row, a program which provides healthy food to those in need.
Please help us plan by clicking ‘attending’ to this event on Facebook!
Thanks, and good luck with the harvest!
