Minor Works Drop-In!
2025-10-01 10:00 - 11:00, 2025-10-08 10:00 - 11:00 (Australia/Adelaide) | The Pear, 49 Sussex St, Alberton, SA, 5014, Australia

What is the Minor Works Program?
The Minor Works Program is all about turning cool ideas into awesome community projects! It’s like a fun journey where you take an idea and watch it grow step by step, building connections and learning new things along the way. We’re building easy tools, templates, and training to use, either self-guided or supported by a Project Guide.
The goal? To turn “wouldn’t it be great if…” into “check out what we did together!”
Want to learn more? Have an idea you’d like to discuss? Have some time and skills you could use to support a neighbour with their project? Drop-in for Minor Works Mondays to chat further 🙂

Dying to Know - Monthly Meet-Up - Ageing Well Week
2025-10-04 11:00 - 13:00 | QT, 67 Spring St, Queenstown, SA, 5014, Australia
Ageing Well Week – Dying to Know Workshop
📅 4th October 2025
📍 QT Neighbourhood Node, 67 Spring Street, Queenstown, SA 5014
⏰ 11.00am – 1.00pm
✒️ RSVP: rosalie@wholisticservicesadelaide.com
The Dying to Know Project is now underway following the success of Dying to Know Day on 8 August. This initiative is all about bringing conversations around death and dying back into the community — creating a safe, open space to share experiences, ask questions, and connect with valuable resources.
Meet-ups will continue on the first Saturday of each month, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, and everyone is welcome to join the discussion.
At the upcoming session on 4th October 2025, Danielle Phillips from Sage Executor Solutions will be presenting a Mini Masterclass on Deceased Estate Administration, offering practical guidance on what families and executors can expect and how to prepare to mobilise when a loved one dies. Did you know it takes between 200-300 hours of work sourcing all paperwork needed to finalise an Estate? A role that is often emotionally overwhelming for ones left to deal with all of that in between their busy lives.
This is an opportunity to source information, and be prepared, create ease and comfort for that time when it is needed. We never know when that will be.

The Dying to Know Project is supported by the Minor Works Program.

This workshop takes place on the Traditional lands of the Kaurna people. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty of this land was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Neighbourhood Garden Session
2025-10-07 10:00 - 12:00 | QT, 67 Spring St, Queenstown, SA, 5014, Australia
The Queenstown Neighbourhood Garden has been in development since July 2022, and since then a small group of local garden enthusiasts have transformed what was a vacant plot of grass and weeds into a budding community garden with various types of garden beds, native plants and different types of herbs, veggies, flowers and trees. The garden fully relies on locals to help with planting, planning, watering and harvesting.
A regular garden session is now planned for every Tuesday (morning), and what gets done each time depends on how many hands are available to help, what materials we have gathered and what plants or seeds have been donated. The garden is very much a work in progress, and we welcome any and all people who want to help turn it into a lively neighbourhood garden.
Come along on any Tuesday. We usually have a cuppa after our hard work together, but this is not obligatory or expected of you. If you just want to get your hands dirty, that is fine too! Bring your own gardening gloves and favourite tools if you want.

The Neighbourhood Garden is located on the Traditional lands of the Kaurna People. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that sovereignty of this land was never ceded. We promise to tread lightly and consider it our duty to look after the land as best we can.
