Growing a garden
Connecting our community
Find out more from Dave, one of the team behind this project.
What is this all about?
We are a couple of garden enthusiasts and hopeless romantics. We can’t bare the idea of a bunch of great people in Forrest Hill staying behind their fences and not getting to know 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.
Where are you up to in the process?
As with many things in life, good things take time. We have been working with the council since 2018 and we were granted permission in late 2019. There are a few more steps in the process (including public consultation) but all going well, we are hoping to break ground in spring or early summer.
How can I get involved?
There are plenty of ways you can participate in this project. Here are just a few:
Come and garden (no experience required)
Help with spreading the news on social media
Flyer drops
Funding proposals
Volunteer coordinating
Marketing
