The Green Space

Christmas closure

The Green Space is closed for the Christmas break and will reopen to the public on Friday 12 January.

The Green Space education garden has been created on Greenslopes Street in Edge Hill (Jess Mitchell Park) to upskill our volunteers in growing produce and sustainable growing practice, and to learn skills such as building wicking beds and gabion cages.

Our volunteers reap the rewards of their efforts by sharing in the produce grown in The Green Space each time they pitch in their time and effort.

The Green Space has heaps of ideas for growing produce in small spaces, such as balconies, and inspiration for recycling common materials such as wooden pallets and sinks to create garden beds.

The public are welcome to drop in to The Green Space and chat to the Green Space Our Place staff and volunteers to learn more about growing produce in the Tropics. Opening hours:

Wednesdays between 9.30am and 3.30pm
Fridays between 1.30pm and 3.30pm
