Bellevue Hill Cooper Park Community Garden Celebrates Year 1 With an Open Day

The Cooper Park Community Garden on Cooper Park Road in Bellevue Hill is having an Open Day to celebrate its first year anniversary. Set for Saturday, the 30th of March, the relaxing afternoon event will begin at 12:30 p.m. and anyone from the neighbourhood may attend.

There will be a sausage sizzle during the Open Day and families who bring along their kids are in for some exciting games. Members of the Cooper Park Community Garden will also be talking about the progress of this initiative.

Before the celebration, however, there will be an Autumn Veggie Gardening Workshop at 10:30 a.m.

Interested participants will be taught the following basics:

  • Preparing the veggie patch for autumn
  • Best greens to plant
  • Seeds versus seedlings
  • Soil maintenance
  • Patch maintenance for a good harvest


The workshop is also free of charge, but an advanced online registration is required.

Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn gardening or share your gardening skills, you may sign up to be a member of the Cooper Park Community Garden. This is open to everyone, regardless of their gardening experience.

As a member, you will need to share at least an hour’s worth of your time every week to tend to the garden. A yearly membership fee will also be required, which shall go to the construction and maintenance of the garden beds.



The Cooper Park Community Garden, which was officially formed on the 10th of March 2018, is recognised by the state government.
