Working bees
Large working bees occur 2-3 times per year when seasons change to tidy up garden beds and mulch. Typically these are held on the weekend.
About the garden
The garden features shared common plots, a water tank, Gaudi-esque mosaic pathway, exotic fruit trees, olive trees, an abundance of herbs and a birdbath for the local blue wrens. The garden also features artwork painted by the local children and a grassy knoll.
An oasis close to the busy intersection of Enmore and Edgeware Roads, this garden is a living example of community concern for engagement, the environment and urban food growing.
The garden is accessible to the public during the day.
