On the 6th December 2019 Stockland handed over the Calleya Community Garden ownership to the City of Cockburn. Treeby Community Association lease the garden from the City. This was a milestone event for the City of Cockburn as we are the first community garden in the city.
The garden is for the use of all Treeby residents, including the Kara and Lake Treeby estates. We currently have 9 raised garden beds in operation, a thriving herb garden and various fruit trees and plants in the surrounding area being tended by members of the TCA.
Residents are welcome to pick herbs or produce from the garden except from the raised garden beds which are privately hired. There are also toys for children to play with, and book swap at the garden.
We have been very fortunate to receive financial support from Stockland, Bunnings, the City of Cockburn, the State and Federal Governments to build the garden structures and buy equipment. We raise funds to run the garden by holding regular Bunning' Sausage Sizzles and from the proceeds from a Containers for Change bin.
The garden team are usually there on Sunday mornings. If your are interested in being part of the garden team contact us on garden@treebyca.com.au
