Projects
It’s all Country.
Cultural Landscape Garden
South Eveleigh
This garden has been co-designed by members of the Local Indigenous Community. Through a collaborative process, the overall feel of the space was conceived, and key species were selected during field trips.
A plethora of edible plants placed within the designed ecologies of food forests and perennial meadows allows the opportunity for responsible seasonal harvesting and reinvigoration of Cultural cultivation practices.
Winding paths are hugged by mass plantings of feature species to create interpretive spaces for local tour guides. Spaces for contemplation and gathering are integrated organically, creating habitat for both people and wildlife.
The plant palette boasts an exemplary amount of diversity with a strong focus on Sydney Region plantings and vulnerable species, thus creating an urban seed bank.
Community Building Rooftop Garden
South Eveleigh
This unique pilot project is believed to be the first of its kind in the world. 500m2 on an urban rooftop dedicated to experimenting with native plants to determine the most suitable species, relationships and techniques for increasing biodiversity and obtaining a yield in this highly challenging and specific environment.
Paired with an education and events pavilion, the venue offers the opportunity for intimate community interaction, mentoring programs and living infrastructure research.
Importantly, the space creates a platform to amplify Indigenous perspectives with a significant focus on native plant cultivation practices, ancient and current. Indigenous Community members have been active within this space since its inception and continue to care for this garden and its visitors.
Treehouse Rain Garden
South Eveleigh
An aesthetically pleasing swale in the form of a dry creek bed winds through this shaded sculpture garden and aims to address flooding issues, slow down stormwater and trap pollutants.
The garden and creek bed sit below the much-loved Treehouse Sculpture by local artist Nell. A collaboration between Nell, Eveleigh Works and local community members.
The dry creek bed and its surrounds have been filled with local native marginal species and unique rainforest specimens complimented by feature climbers wrapping the pillars of the walkway.
Interchange Pavilion Gardens
