Help us tackle the problem of single use plastic pollution at a community level. We make reusable bags out of recycled materials and circulate them through our local community. Come along and join our friendly social group. No previous sewing skills required. Click here for more information.

We are surrounded by beautiful gardens for our community to enjoy. Our native garden includes a dry creek bed and rocks for exploring, a majestic gum (home to many local birds), lots of garden seating and accessible walkways for our community to enjoy all year round. We have raised wicking beds growing a range of herbs and vegetables, from which the community are welcome to help themselves. Our cottage garden is a pretty and relaxing space surrounded by roses and flowers and is a perfect spot to have a cuppa. Our community gardens are wonderful spaces to gather, share and learn and volunteers are always welcome to assist in the maintenance of the garden. 

Our inclusive VALID Peer Action Group meets monthly, creating opportunities for self advocacy for people with disabilities in our community.

Second Monday of the Month. Online or Onsite. 1:00pm - 3:00pm
