Oxford Community Garden

Lee Leonard from Oxford Community Garden

Due to ongoing vandalism and destruction in the Garden, we are no longer going to grow vegetables there. They are pulled out, thrown around and used to block the Pearson Park toilets which is wasteful and discouraging. We are going to turn it into a Bee and Insect friendly Garden instead and grow flowers and herbs that provide food for the Bees. Join us if you'd like to help in, or contribute to this project. Contact is Lee 03 3121536, leevelia99@gmail.com, or come along at 10am on Thursdays.

“Giggly girt! Giggly girt!”

“See I got my hair cut on Friday. I've got my hair band to keep it up. See? Like this I keep it up.

Biscuit Blair - she's my favourite woman. And you. And that cheeky lady over there.

My last name is Rule. I'll write it down for you, you silly old duff.
I was born on West Coast. I moved here when I was a little girl.

I like doing pictures here that’s why I like pictures. Doing art. I like going for a walk. I come here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

My sister, I go see her on Saturday. Have a cup of coffee, at home. She's five, nine. 59. I'm five, seven, 57. This year I'll be 58. My birthday's on a Thursday. I'm having chocolate cake and pizza. And lolly ice cream.
Some people are noisy. Nicholas, and Peter and Chris, they are my friends and that giggly girt over there.

I get headache sometimes at other work, because noisy.

I'm happy here. I could go for a walk if I want to. I'm good.”

- Vanessa, White Room Creative Spaces

The White Room is a community creative space that removes barriers to
making art. Through this, artists build confidence and connections and
embrace new opportunities.
