Community gardens

1a Gipps Street, Concord - Directly behind Concord Community Centre

Established in 2012, Concord Community Garden is the City of Canada Bay's first community garden. Created in partnership with the local community, it is managed by a dedicated group of volunteers who oversee gardening, maintenance and membership. Community members are welcome to visit during working bees, workshops, monthly meetings and the annual Open Day on 18 October 2026. The group meets on the first and third Saturday of each month, and a brand new website will be launching soon with more information about the garden, upcoming events and how to get involved.

Blackwall Point Reserve, Chiswick

Established in 2018, Chiswick Community Garden is a welcoming community space at Blackwall Point Reserve, managed by a dedicated group of local volunteers. Since its beginnings, the garden has grown into a thriving and inclusive community, with members from Chiswick, Abbotsford and Drummoyne. In 2025, the garden was expanded with additional garden beds, compost bins and fencing to support future growth and sustainability. Community members are welcome to visit during regular meet-ups to meet the gardeners and learn more about getting involved.

Members promote sustainable gardening practices, including composting, worm farming and organic waste recycling, while creating habitat for local wildlife. Community members from Rhodes and surrounding suburbs are welcome to join, with the group meeting every Sunday morning for community gardening sessions.

Rhodes Park, Killoola St, Concord West

The Five Senses Garden project is an innovative collaboration between the City of Canada Bay and Inner West Neighbour Aid. The garden is an accessible space for all ages and abilities, incorporating food growing, nature play, bush tucker plants and a sensory garden. The garden opened in early 2019 and is a welcoming haven for residents, community groups and gardeners alike and hosts a range of gardening, creative and wellbeing workshops. People can also get involved in the garden by participating in regular working bees.

The Rhodes Mobile Garden provides a small taster of the community garden experience. Its home base is The Connection, 30 Shoreline Drive Rhodes and has been created by the Council to support local sustainable living programs. It is used to host gardening workshops both at the Connection and at special community events around the City.
