our environmental &
cultural regeneration project
THE CULTURE GARDEN (est. 2022)
a COMMUNITY GARDEN & PLACEMAKING project
Our “Cultural Garden Project” is a community garden initiative to re-landscape the State Heritage cemetery grounds around our Heritage Chapel/ studio, in a place-strengthening & welcoming way.
The garden will honour many layers & versions of “local culture” & their botanical histories, reflected in the landscaping alongside the graves. Get involved to see indigenous, colonial, Mediterranean, drought hardy, & contemporary multi-cultural garden areas unfold, telling other histories (& “herstories” / stories) of this landscape.
Gardening is held on the first Saturday of each month (second Saturday if a public holiday on the first) 9-12; please join us for a shared morning tea. Please be in touch if you wish for a low-impact job like watering the roses, are keen on researching histories or applying for grants, or would like tasks that you can do in your own time (including tending graves).
