It is hard to believe that our beautiful Goldhill Community Garden grew out from an empty plot of state land which had laid empty for some thirty over years.........
In early 2008 Goldhill NC decided to pursue the dream of residents to have a community garden. A Working Committee was formed to discuss formation of the Goldhill Gardening Club and a proposal was drawn up. Application was made through the Moulmein CCC to various authorities for permission to make use of the state land for our Community Garden. It took quite a while and a lot of 'ding-dong , merry go-round' between all the relevant authorities before we finally got the 'TOL' and the 'go-ahead' to proceed.
So, on October 24th, the day came for ground breaking - the 'pavilion' site and 'vegetable plots' were marked out. NC member, Sin Hock Seng came with his team of helpers, and together with some Gardening Club members, we put in days of hard work to get the many plots of gardening beds ready for cultivation and to level out and pave the front area for a 'pavilion' to be put up.
We wish to record a 'Big Thank Your' to Sin Hock Seng and his 'Prosper Marine' team for the great help given to get ready the ground for us to start up our Community Garden.
