Participating in the Physical Edible Garden Trail this year
The garden was created to cater for the many apartment and houses nearby who have no opportunity to grow and taste their own fresh produce. It is currently under the auspice of Hornsby Shire Council and will be 4 years old in October. Our garden is organic and we try and incorporate Permaculture principles where[…]
The Friendship Garden, located at Auburn Centre for Community, is a shared community garden, developed as a community space for healthy, fun outdoor activities. The garden encourages people to grow and share local food, make new friends, share skills while improving community health and wellbeing. All community members are welcome to get involved in the[…]
Anzac Park Community garden was opened in March 2019. It is designed in the shape of the Anzac Star to complement the park and the Anzac Memorial with its rows of Turpentine trees representing the tough Anzac soldiers. We have around 30 volunteers and many new friendships have been made through the garden. We have[…]
Over the last year I’ve been converting a small section of my front garden into a native edible garden, with another section dedicated to encouraging native bees and birds. I’m happy to share my garden and what knowledge I have – I’ve loved learning about native edibles over the last year since I started.
The design of this garden is based on permaculture and food forests (also known as regenerative agriculture and syntropic farming), representing wholistic land rehabilitation. It approaches land use from a traditional aboriginal custodianship perspective, equally focussing on preserving the environment, supporting local native animals and providing a viable farm/forest model that takes in to account[…]

The Family Paddock is our 14-acre patch of paradise which we are aiming to become largely self-sufficient using organic principles. We began our journey in October 2017. The land was very badly neglected for the previous 19 years so we have spent a lot of time weeding, especially lantana and privet. So far we have[…]

We have slowly created our own wonderful garden that is as much a reflection of enthusiastic experimentation as thoughtful planting. Our ethos is chemical free, low waste and insect friendly (spiders, native bees and butterflies all very welcome). We have[…]
