Community Garden Workshop#3 ADELAIDE PARK LANDS - PARK 27B
Thank you
This was our third and final workshop of the series and we are now at a point where we can start to bring the vision for the garden into reality.
Everyone who has participated across the three workshops has made a tremendous contribution to the process.
A big thank you to those who came along to this workshop to help us with the more detailed decision making, and for those who have already signalled an interest in taking a leadership role or being a part of the committee going forward.
For those who weren’t able to attend the workshop, this document should hopefully fill you in on how things have progressed. Remember, this is just the beginning and there will be plenty more opportunities to get involved as we continue into the approvals, construction and operation phases.
Workshop #3 Agenda

How to spend?
How to operate?
Next steps
Co-design progress
Everybody who participated in the co-design activity at the end of the second workshop did a fantastic job of starting to create a shared vision for how the garden is going to function.
The two broad plans created at that workshop were studied by our planning consultant and turned into a more formal sketch-design that was presented back to those that were present at the third workshop for critique and review.
The plans were well received and the general site strategy was strongly supported.
The following pages contain the draft plans that were presented at the third workshop that will now be updated to reflect the feedback from the budgeting exercise that we undertook at this workshop.

DRAFT
How to spend?The Park Lands community garden project is being generously supported with funding by Renewal SA and will hopefully also be supported by a civil works training program.
We have generated some fantastic ideas, concept and plans right across the three workshops. One of our most difficult challenges is to distill these ideas and concepts down into the key components that will be delivered with the funding from Renewal SA.
To do this, we conducted a participatory budgeting exercise where each person at the workshop was given a card that
represented the stage 1 budget, and a series of strips with shapes that represented the estimated cost of each of the ideas that had come up during the two previous workshops.
Each person then was tasked with choosing which projects would fit within the Stage 1 budget, and which might have to wait for later. The following pages show the results of this exercise and the analysis. Items that were included in the budget were given a weighting of 1 unit while items placed in the ‘wishlist’ section at the end of the budget were given 0.5 units of weighting.

How to operate?
After planning how we would build the garden, it was time to start to think about how the garden will be operated and organised.
We had a brief discussion about some of the formal and informal roles that typically exist within the steering group / committee of a community garden then had an informal chat about who might be interested in taking on these roles.
There was not a formal nominations process or any roles allocated during this workshop because we need to contact everyone who has signalled an interest in the garden to see whether they would like to be involved in this steering group / committee.
The roles that we envisage will need to be filled initially are described on the next page.
ChairpersonThe chairperson is tasked with organising and running steering group / committee meetings and is normally someone who will take a lead role in representing the interests of the garden to other community and government groups.
Expect a time committment of 10 -15 hours per month for the administrative parts of this role.
TreasurerThe treasurer role is usually taken on by someone with experience in managing budgets and is focussed on ensuring the garden remains viable, and grants and other monies are distributed properly. Experience in (or a keen interest in learning about) grant application writing would be a big plus for this role.
Expect a time committment of 6-12 hours per month for the administrative parts of this role.
SecretaryThe secretary is normally responsible for the recording of decisions and processes as well as for the dissemination of information among garden members. Good word processing skills are an advantage, and you should expect a time committment of roughly 6-12 hours per month for the administrative parts of this role.
Steering group / committee memberSteering group / committee members are people that are looking to take on a role in steering the direction of the garden without the formal respsonsibilities of some of the other roles.
Expect a time committment of roughly 5 - 10 hours per month to attend meetings and coordinate projects.
Founding garden memberThis is an opportunity to be an important part of the garden without necessarily committing to a formal role in the management and organisation of the garden.
Founding members will be responsible for establishing the initial plantings and helping to show that the garden as a great organisation for local residents and businesses to be involved in.
Other roleIn the first workshop we asked people to signal some of the skills and resources they could bring ot the garden. There were a number of exiting skills listed that would be great to incorporate into the garden so if you are still interested in taking on a role that is not described here, let the team know so that we can create one.
If you would like to signal your interest in any or all of these roles, please get in contact with the team via the contact details on the last page of this document.
Next stepsThe draft design of the garden will be refined based on the feedback from this workshop, and we are looking to start arranging some steering group / committee meetings early in the new year.
There are still plenty of ways to be involved both during what’s left of 2015 and early in 2016.
Key dates going forward:
December 2015 — January 2016Draft plans approved by steering group / committee and submitted to APLA.
January 2016APLA meeting and hopeful support for the project
Work to form an incorporated body to obtain insurances etc.
February 2016Council assessment of plans
March 2016Start of construction works and garden planting
To get involved in the steering group / committee or to provide any feedback on the process so far, please contact:
