FOR the green thumbs in Euroa, the town's community garden behind the swimming pool is a 'joyful place'.
This suits the dozen-or-so-strong gardening chapter of the Euroa Community Action Group (ECAG) according to its president of five years Laura Baker.
"We named it the Yiiro Community Garden because 'yiiro' is the Taungurung word for 'joyful place'," Ms Baker said.
The garden is always open for access and is a key community space.
ECAG will be hosting a brief 'Gather and Grow' session on Sunday, 16 February from 10:00 to 11:30am for anyone wanting to help out.

Ms Baker said people could come simply for a 'wander'.
"You can come to connect with other local gardeners if you like and if you want to help out then you can do that by mulching our beds," she said.
"And there's always whipper snippering and weeding and all the other fun stuff."
"We are always up for a chat and love doing projects and getting stuff done."
Ms Baker said Yiiro was open any time and the community was welcome to grab some food.
"We want people to access fresh healthy produce.
"The gather and grow is an opportunity to give back to that space so we can keep it growing."
