Basic Information

The garden promotes the art of organic gardening where possible and also has an area dedicated to the history of the indigenous bush tucker and local market gardener history.
We promote the enjoyment of gardening while meeting and helping new people with similar interests.
History of the garden
The Coogee Community Garden WA was founded by a group of residents who had the passion and vision for creating a garden accessible to all. The group was incorporated on 15 November 2018 and a license agreement for the garden land area at Rotary Park was signed with the City of Cockburn on 9 June 2021.
The first community planting day was held on 7 August 2021 at a 'turning of the sod ceremony'. Following this, the garden quickly took shape with the development of a community shed, access pathways and an outdoor gazebo area.
The official opening day for the garden occurred on Saturday 15 October 2022.
