What is the Pocket Community Garden?
The Pocket Community Garden brings the community together in a project which is healthy, enjoyable and addresses some of the environmental and social issues of our area. We meet on most Sundays for working bees but also meet socially and for informal gardening on a regular basis. From monthly breakfasts for the community to engagement parties, worm farming to a jazz club, the Pocket Community Garden has seen a lot over the last ten years, and we’d love neighbours new and old to join us in celebrating.

Scroll to see the before and after... The urban forest before it was a forest - all thanks to the efforts of @andrewdefine and @isobelmorris_ Landscape architects, creatives, collectors, curators and coordinators of the urban forest forest. 🌳 And to our suppliers - @innovativerigging (rigging system) @brookfieldgardens, Pallara, Aspley, Rudders Road @lakedevonnursery and Ibrox for the most beautiful display of trees Gregory Terrace has ever seen. It’s a true rainforest, a collective effort and has left people in wonder. Well done everyone! .
