Wentworthville Community Garden

Wentworthville Community Garden is an established community garden located behind 73 Fullagar Road Wentworthville. It is a community space where local residents with a common interest in gardening come together to participate in activities that encourage harmony cooperation and a sense of belonging. It is run and managed by volunteers on land owned by the former Holroyd Council (now Cumberland City Council). The Garden has won many awards over the years including the Keep Australia Beautiful – NSW Sustainable Garden Award the Community Garden display at the Sydney Royal Easter Show for nine consecutive years and several local garden awards. In 2002 Holroyd Council invited the local community to participate in the planning and design of a community garden on a piece of parkland in Lytton St Park Wentworthville. It took 4 years of planning discussions and finally Council approval to actually get to dig in the dirt! An enthusiastic group of about 10 local residents started work on the vacant site in 2006. We built the gardens in several stages as we had to raise money or secure grants to complete garden beds. The Garden now has close to 150 members from many different cultural backgrounds. There are approximately 100 gardens beds. Gardeners grow fresh produce herbs or flowers
