About Us

Darlington Community Garden is a local community garden, located right in the heart of Darlington. A group of volunteers have been working since 2018 to create the foundations for our garden - liaising with the Shire of Mundaring to secure a lease, fundraising and securing grants for the garden, working on the drainage and soil, writing a constitution, and building our beautiful arbour.

Our hope is that the community garden will become a meeting place for the community, where we can work together to grow healthy organic produce, encourage each other in living more sustainably and caring for our precious environment, and where community members will feel a sense of belonging and connection with others.

Please join us! We would love to have you involved.
