West Leederville Community Garden

This garden was started in 2007 by a frustrated community who wanted to have a good local story rather than constantly complaining to Council about traffic! It is on a empty council land and a mixture of individual plots and general space, Being inner city many people have little or not backyard or no sun.

Plot holders have access to all compost, mulch, tools, water (on bore water mostly) with plots either 4 x 2 m or half plots 2 x 2 m. Although it is fenced off ( too many flash cars turning up with big baskets and not contributing.) members can go at any time and we are open on Saturday afternoons.

We try to use a many free products and make all out own compost. Also have worm juice and castings in the mix.
