History
We were formed ten years ago when a group of people decided to ask the City of Canning for permission to build a community garden on the piece of vacant land that we now use.
Problems/challenges
WA weather: short winters and long hot summers that are becoming increasingly humid. WA infertile sand that has no nutrients and quickly becomes hydrophobic. Lack of younger aged members; nearly all of our members are retired.
