Pocket Garden Snippets

Pocket Gardens are located in Whitfi eld at Draper Place and Trundle Terrace, in Edge Hill at Torrence Avenue and Crathern Close, and Manunda at the corner of Wallace and Clarke Streets. Draper Place Pocket Garden recently hosted a ‘Crop Swap’ event (pictured left) that attracted a large gathering from the Atherton Tablelands and across Cairns. If you would like to know more about crop swap events, keep an eye on the Crop Swap Cairns & Surrounds Facebook.

The Wallace & Clarke Pocket Garden is well worth a visit especially after their recent working bee. The volunteers tended the beds with new top soil and nutrients, and mulched the fruit trees in the park. Plenty of new seedlings have been added and the place looks well cared for; a great example of what can be achieved in a small neighbourhood park with plenty of enthusiasm.
