ways to get involved

There are many activities to keep the garden running and looking fabulous. It's a great way to meet other members, learn new things or contribute your expertise.

working bees

Monthly working bees provide a chance to get your hands dirty, have a yarn with fellow gardeners and take home some produce.
After the bee we usually share a plate and a cuppa in the picnic area. Members are welcome to come early or late, and for as little or as long as they like.

garden gatherings

Be part of our monthly get together where we share knowledge, build garden projects or cook using garden produce.

join a team!

gardening teams

Join one of our five gardening teams, each of which takes care of a group of beds. Pest control, weeding, watering is always necessary during the month. The teams organise their own activities via their Signal chat group.

native gardeners

Join our native gardeners and help build native decorative gardens to enrich our habitat, while showcasing the beauty of low maintenance native plants for home gardens.

nursery team

Join our nursery team and help grow a constant supply of seedlings for the garden. The nursery needs frequent attention: planting, weeding and watering. Most of these tasks can be done by a single team member when it suits them.

compost team

Join to help us make the compost that contributes the organic matter that our beds need.

maintenance team

Join our maintenance team to keep the garden running smoothly. There are many varied tasks, shopping for supplies, building new infrastructure projects, mowing, clearing gutters and swales and fixing things that are broken.
