From little things...
What an incredible start to A Plot in Common. Our first Sow Day was such a wonderful day. The sun was shining as the Plotters arrived with boxes of seeds and seedlings ready to plant. Over lunch we exchanged ideas and interests and learnt a little about each other. My first impression of all these people was the common love and interest we all have for our food and where it comes from. That each of us are trying to make a difference in our own worlds. What a pleasure to be around such people.

Let me introduce you to these wonderful people. Our Plotters.
ALISON
Alison works for Slow Food Melbourne. Part of Alison's role is coordinate several Farmers Markets around the city of Melbourne. These markets reflect the Slow Food philosophy of 'good, clean, fair food'. Her knowledge and passion for food tradition is inspiring. It made so much sense for Alison to take a plot. I'm really happy she did.
SCOTT FAMILY
The Scott family live in Melbourne. They balance an incredible life between running a successful Yoga studio, schooling, travelling and family time. We have know the Scotts' for several years now and their interest and support for A Plot in Common means a lot.
EBONY
Ebony and I first made contact when Ebony was on the other side of the world exploring permaculture farms, organic farms and enjoying cooking lessons. Ebony's passion for clean food is reflected in her love for growing, cooking and living.
GENEVIEVE
Genevieve provides beautiful accommodation in Kyneton, The Flop House. Genevieve is very passionate about giving her guests the opportunity to experience the 'real country experience'. As part of this, Genevieve invites her guests to join her at her plot and gives them the chance to tour our farm. Genevieve has been an amazing support from the beginning.
ALICHIA AND BRENTON
Alichia and Brenton are experienced, knowledgeable, passionate gardeners. They have a real love and interest for country living and all that is involved. I have learnt so much from them already.
AARON AND LAUREN
Aaron and Lauren and their young family join A Plot in Common with the interest in community, gardening, and giving their small children the opportunity to plant and grow. What an incredible thing Aaron and Lauren are giving to their children.

So there are our Plotters.
I will post regular updates on how the plots are growing and what events we have planned. There were discussions about a Tomato Sauce Day, Pesto Day, Salami Day, Artichoke Day, Bee Day. You are more than welcome to make suggestions and/or join us.
Sow Day was about people coming together and making a connection. It confirmed to me by opening your world, your mind and your heart... wonderful things can happen.
