Come along and learn the art and science of seed sowing, and sow a punnet of your own to take home and watch grow. We’ll also have wildflower seed bomb making for the kiddos and a seed swap table for the seed addicts amongst us! Come ready to swap and expand your seed library!
And if you didn't know, we host weekly working bees at the garden on Sundays from 2-4pm. See you there.
It has been 4 years in the making, but we are officially launching this Sunday. Come and celebrate with us. There will be a sausage sizzle, kids face painting, a raffle, tours of the garden, speeches and a ribbon-cutting, and games for the kids.
We are after free mulch for the Forrest Hill community Garden. Please get in touch if you know of any available. Thanks.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Forrest Hill Community Garden, we are having an information evening this Wednesday. We look forward to meeting you and planning towards this exciting project.

We are a couple of garden enthusiasts and hopeless romantics. We can’t bear the idea of a bunch of great people in Forrest Hill staying behind their fences and not knowing each other.

Our dream is to create a garden in Seine Road reserve which will be a place to learn to grow organic food, and a place to get to know our neighbours. It will be a beautiful space, a learning space, a place to get stuck in, and a place to experience what community can really be.
As with many things in life, good things take time. We have been working with the council since 2018, and we were granted permission late 2019. There are a few more steps in the process but we are hoping to break ground at Seine Reserve, Forrest Hill, in spring or early summer.
There are plenty of ways you can participate in this project. You might be an avid gardener, just interested in learning more or you love getting stuck into a project. If that is you, we would love to have you involved. And if you know a local business who is keen to get behind us, please let them know to reach out.
You can find us on social media or visit our website to find out more. You might also want to sign up to our mailing list to get regular updates.
