⚠️ Libraries and page now closed ⚠️

A final note of thanks… 💚📚🌱
​To our wonderful community, this page and the street library verge garden initiative have officially come to a close.
​What started as a spark of inspiration from similar projects around the globe grew into something truly special—both physically on our verge and right here online.
Together, we’ve shared books, games, jigsaws, craft, plants, seeds, produce, gardening & growing, outdoor fun, and plenty of curiosity with our geocache and PokéStop along the way. We’ve even shown off our lovely corner of the world to legends like Costa Georgiadis Official

​Over the years, this space evolved through a few different chapters, and I’ve loved the challenge and joy of running it. However, I’ve reached a point where it’s no longer sustainable for me physically, financially, or emotionally to keep managing it effectively.

​I’ve always believed in giving things your absolute best shot so you’re left with no regrets, and I can proudly say I gave this initiative everything I had.

​Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me, supporting the garden, borrowing the books, and being part of something green and good. While this chapter ends, I hope the spirit of sharing continues across our neighborhood!
​“Plant seeds of kindness wherever you go, give life your best shot, and leave no room for regret.”
​Thank you, all! ✨

I hope you love my AI assisted photo of Otto and I

💐Thank you to whomever put a gheko ornament back on the library.
That library is now empty and removed and is headed to Ipswich and Surrounds Street Libraries for renovation and redistribution. The gheko is now on our power pole as a library reminder.

Sadly the new 2nd seed box I put out which was destined to go to Horton Dr library as they wanted one, has gone from filled full by me last night, to now completely empty. If you have spare seeds to donate please let's try and re-fill it to send to its new home, otherwise all they get is an empty seed box :-(

All that if left is as shown and is a mix of all sorts that is left. Soft toys have been freshly washed.

Please remember you can still give if you can, so the libraries go full to their new homes.

⚠️⚠️ One day to go ! ⚠️⚠️

🚫The library boxes will close at the end of the day tomorrow Friday 31 July.

🌱The larger seed box has been passed on to be available at Bee Obsessed honey/ produce stall and street library at Pinjarra hills. Follow along their page and take a visit, honey, eggs and produce are awesome and books to swap too. Please use respectfully. The seed box requires seeds in as well as out to function. I have passed it on crammed full of all my spare seeds as I can no longer propegate or get in the garden much so enjoy the variety there are some rarer finds as well as common edibles. It's a super way to share seeds hardy to our area and share what seeds have worked well for you.

A smaller seed library currently in the Froggy library will be passed along to Horton Dr street library at Chuwar.

🌼There are still a bucket of cuttings under the library, these are free.

📚Plenty of books and craft to keep swapping. The boxes and their contents are heading to Ipswich and Surrounds Street Libraries group on Saturday where they will be given a full restore and watch their page as to where they head off to next !

🍋The libraries will be replaced with a lemon tree for community harvest and done bush Tucker plants for the wildlife and the verge will then be tidied and re mulched. If you have enjoyed visiting and would like to contribute towards that please leave any contributions securely in the library hosts mailbox.

🫶 Three days left until closure 🫶

Come find something or donate some books, the libraries will go stocked to their new homes next week.

Lots of pots, trays, and a few plants and seed library box is chocca full.

Police report has been made, if you see any items being sold which have Froggy Creek written underneath then they were stolen last weekend.
Fairies, gnomes, frogs, gheko ornament, frog sculpture. Way more items than in photos, but these are some examples.

These were either given by visiting families and their children, bought by the library host family, or fundraised for via the adjoining plant cart sales.

The verge initiative is now closing, what wasn't stolen or broken has been rehomed and the libraries will be removed on Saturday to a new home.

*This was not the only reason for closure, but the last straw

I understand there have been a lot of garden related thefts in the area recently and I would urge anyone who was a victim of this to file a police report.

Expression of interest for any current street libraries who would like to add in a seed library to their boxes.
I have some requests already but ensuring everyone gets a fair chance.

Collection will be next week from Karana Downs for the lucky recipient.

⚠️ If you're interested comment below with your street library and photo of it, and why you would like it, and you'll be added to the list.

⚠️⚠️It's the last week to visit before the libraries are removed⚠️⚠️

📦The libraries will be removed Saturday 1st Aug. Make it a happy last week of book sharing. Any surplus books left in the boxes on Saturday morning will go with the boxes to their new homes so will be circulated still within the street library nationwide community. Will be great to pass the boxes on refreshed and re-filled ready for the new hosts.

✍️There is a community book to write in if you'd like to share anything about your visits, finds, or give any anonymous feedback about this community initiative or street libraries in general. The book looks like this and has pens with it.

🤝I fully re-stocked both boxes on Sunday with great books and new crafts, games, a lot of stickers. I put all the lots of bookmarks and wildlife magnets in also.

🎉I will be popping a few extra surprises in each day for the week also.

🌱The seed library was again empty, it will be refilled on Tuesday with around 30 packets I've made up, this will also be passed on when it closes so carry on sharing :-)

📷Do post pics in comments when you visit the rest of this week so folk can see what's still available.

Final last week, let's make it full of books and positive fun ! There is also a community book to share any stories or words in.

Everything except the two library boxes is now gone (stolen or passed on).
The library boxes will be removed Saturday 1 Aug so do take this last week to visit them if you like. They will be passed onto new homes.

I will be putting a couple of native bushes and a couple of fruit trees in for community sharing of fruit and wildlife, if you enjoyed the libraries and would like to make a final contribution you are welcome to do so towards them.

*Please share the closure within your contacts so folk know not to visit after this week, there are still NINE other street libraries in Karana Downs and Mt Crosby alone and more further afield.

Please see previous post. What wasn't stolen is now removed, so all is now gone except the two libraries which will be removed on 1Aug, there is a community book inside the library if you want to write any last anything in it before 1st.
With fondest wishes for all the good times enjoyed here while it was running. Will remember with happiness all the wonderful visitors and noone can forget Costa came to our little corner of the world !

* Please share with your contacts so people don't come and get a surprise it's gone. Especially as I know some kids will be upset.
