Castle Hills Parks
Springtime is here! Each month we will be highlighting a specific Castle Hills Park. A few of the parks have been renovated, and there are more parks approved for renovations. The Train Park is a great park with a cool train for the kiddos to climb on, especially for toddlers. These parks allow for creative freedom and making memories.

Warmed asparagus and lettuce
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 small onions, cut into eighths and separated into petals
- 500g asparagus, woody ends snapped off, sliced 1cm thick diagonally
- 1 mushroom stock cube, dissolved in 200ml hot water (or mushroom soaking water from 10g dried mushrooms – or vegetable stock)
- 4 little gem lettuces, quartered lengthways
- 5g mint (about ¼ supermarket bunch), leaves picked, finely chopped
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until they soften. They should still hold their integrity in the final dish, so don’t cook them until collapsing.
- Add the sliced asparagus to the pan and toss well to combine. Keep stirring for 1 minute, then add the stock. Simmer for 3 minutes.
- Once the asparagus is tender, remove from the heat and add the lettuce, turning to coat with the cooking liquid and wilt the leaves. Season to taste. Finally, stir in the mint and serve.

June Garden Tips
- Prune herbs often to encourage new growth
- Walk the garden in early morning to pick off stink bugs and largus bugs from tomatoes. Look under the leaves to for their eggs.
- Water fruit and nut trees deeply to avoid fruit drop-off
- Avoid over-watering plants as we head into heat. To avoid root rot, check soil moisture. Water deeply and then let dry out.
