Our Group’s first gardening venture last year was to establish a herb garden along the southern boundary of the Bocce court next to the Railway Station Neighbourhood House in Solly Avenue, Princes Hill. The garden has established well but needed renovating with new plants and mulch. We also placed sleepers along the Southern edge of the bed to minimise the invasion of kikuyu.
We had a good roll-up at the working bee on 26 June and made good progress in renovating the herb bed – see attached photos.

Yarra Council has delivered a consultation letter and other information about proposed community gardens in Yarra to all residents within 500 metres of proposed sites. Sections of the information package relevant to proposed sites in Princes Hill are presented in the attachment.
The proposal to establish the garden at the preferred Holtom Street West site in Hardy Gallagher Reserve has generated a lot of opposition from a number of nearby residents operating under the name of “Friends of Hardy Gallagher Reserve”.
It is vital that all members of the community in favour of developing a community garden in Princes Hill actively engage in the consultation process by taking up the opportunity to respond to the Council’s invitation to provide feedback.
The consultation package from Council (see link below) includes a Consultation Feedback Form. The link below is a Word document that you can print off to mail your response to the Council by 25 February. You could also use this document to type your response on the form and email it to the Council.
