Southern River Community Garden

Please refer to organisations Facebook page for updates regarding access to gardens and usage requirements.

Established in 2013 by the City of Gosnells in partnership with the local community, the Southern River Community Garden is a blossoming shared space at the rear of Southern River College in Gosnells.

Today, the 4,000 square metre site is managed by an energetic committee of community volunteers (Southern River Community Garden Inc.) who manage a range of activities at the garden, including monthly busy bees, gardening and art workshops and student projects.

New members are always welcome; please contact the Southern River Community Garden at the links below and follow them on Facebook.

Wattle House Community Garden

Wattle House, located in Maddington WA, is a community hub providing a number of support services including transitional housing, housing support and financial assistance to a community with complex needs.

The idea for the garden grew from a desire to serve a community experiencing feelings of isolation as well as providing fresh produce to promote good nutrition. The ongoing maintenance and management of the garden will include participation from Mission Australia staff, other service providers in the region and community members. This will help people in the community feel connected to others while doing something to help themselves.

If you would like to volunteer to maintain the community garden please contact the Program Manager on 9262 4200.
