Yarraville Community Garden
The Yarraville Community Garden was opened in Spring 2014 and is located in McNish Reserve, Yarraville. Our facilities include picnic tables, shelter, raised beds and wicking beds, individual and communal garden plots.
Yarraville Community Garden is a welcoming community hub where interested people from across our diverse community come together to relax, learn and garden. We share and grow our knowledge, demonstrate support and respect for each other and create a safe, fun environment.
Seasonal Food and Seed Swaps are held at our monthly working bees. All are welcome to bring along their home grown or home made produce and swap it for something else on the table, including home-grown fruit, veg, flowers, bread, preserves, seeds, seedlings, recipes and gardening tips.
There is a community composting depot. Items which can be composted are:
- Fruit & vegetable scraps (remove plastic, & elastic bards)
