What's happening

Spring has arrived at The Grove! The days are getting a little longer, the weather a little warmer, and there are plenty of reasons to spend more time outside. Take a wander along the wetlands, keep an eye out for the first signs of new growth, or make the most of an afternoon at one of the local parks. Sometimes the best part of a new season is simply noticing the little changes happening around you. What’s your favourite way to enjoy spring at The Grove?

Happy World Photography Day. This week we are running a Grove Photo Challenge. Get out and snap: a growling grass frog, a boardwalk sunrise, a purple wildflower, a magpie mid-swoop, or your own street sign. Post your photos in the comments below, best shot gets shared to the page.

Pass The Plate is back for winter. This month's recipe is one to make when the house feels a bit too cold and the couch a bit too tempting. What is your favourite winter dinner to cook for friends and family? Drop it in the comments, best answer might make next month's list.

Today is International Youth Day, and there is a lot to celebrate at The Grove. From Dianella Community Centre to the Wyndham youth programs down the road, our young residents have real spaces to grow, connect and lead. Add to that Karwan Primary School and Brinbeal Secondary College right here in the community, along with a great choice of other schools nearby, and our kids are set up to learn, play and thrive close to home.
