A very pleasant afternoon in the garden today. We trimmed the pigeon pea, and chopped it up to mulch our crop rows.
Pigeon peas capture nitrogen from the air, so growing them is a great way of adding nitrogen to your soil

Hello, dear community! 🌿🌎

We hope everyone is safe and well after Cyclone Alfred. Our thoughts are with all those affected, and we send our best wishes for a smooth recovery. 💛

As an urban garden, we are a little green lung for the city—a place of resilience, renewal, and connection. We also want to send a warm message to all the other community gardens out there—we hope you have weathered the storm safely and haven’t suffered major damage. May our shared love for green spaces continue to bring strength and unity! 🌱🌻✨

Take care, stay safe, and let’s keep growing strong together!

As the sun sets over our urban farm, nature puts on a quiet show. The sky glows with beautiful colors, birds sing their last songs of the day, and the city’s noise fades into peaceful silence. This is truly a place of peace—a space to pause, breathe, and appreciate the simple beauty around us. 🌿✨

A hidden oasis in the city, where nature reminds us to slow down and just be.

Hi locals and friends! 👋

This Saturday, October 26th, our Urban Farm will be open from noon to 6 pm (QLD) during the "Block Party on the Bay" event (which runs from 1pm – 7pm NSW).

We’d love for you to stop by and see the work we’re doing in the area. Beyond gardening, we’ve also created a space to gather, share, and strengthen our sense of community.

Find us on Dixon Street just at the top of Bay Street, but our entrance is around the corner in Scott Street.

We hope to see you this Saturday so you can learn more and enjoy this exciting project with us!

Thanks heaps! 🙂
