We’re hosting a Have a Grow Day
Dame Emily Park Project
At the heart of Dame Emily Park, you’ll find the community garden where residents have been growing edible fruit, herbs and vegetables since 1997. With such a diverse community, it’s not surprising to find exotic fruits like tomatillos or the cardoon, cherished in the Mediterranean. But local and seasonal produce is the star of the show, finding tangy raspberries in the summer and fragrant leeks in the winter. The harvest is shared amongst volunteers and donated to local food banks. Passersby are also encouraged to harvest as they please.
Meet DEPP volunteers during a fun afternoon at the community garden with kids activities, cake and coffee, plant sale and talks.
