Community garden and shed

Practical spaces for connection, learning, and contribution — where volunteers, older people, and partner organisations grow food, build skills, and improve our shared spaces

The HMC garden

Grown by community volunteers on permaculture principles, the garden brings together aged care social groups, local high school students, and children from Tilly’s Preschool. It also hosts birthday parties, a yarning circle, and workshops

Volunteer in the garden or shed

Volunteers keep both spaces active and welcoming — gardening, harvesting, maintenance, small repairs, workshops, and events. All volunteers meet with HMC management first and need the required checks
