Hilton Harvest Vision 2016
After months of community consultation and meetings, we now have a wonderful vision. This vision builds on the garden's vibrant and dynamic energy, while keeping true to its grass roots ethos!
Our mission statement says it all:
VISION:
"Hilton Harvest Community Garden is a hub for gardening, community building and education anchored in sustainability".
OBJECTIVES:
What is the Vision?
We're super excited to share this vision with you. It has been formerly presented to the CIty of Fremantle, The HIlton Primary School Board and our community at our AGM. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. The plan is not set in stone and there will be teaks around the edges. If there's some things that are not clear just give us a call or email.

Thankyou to Greg Grabasch from UDLA (Urban Design Landscape Architecture - a local company) for your volunteered hours facilitating the community consultation process, pulling the information together and providing us with a professionally designed plan. |
The implementation of the vision is divided into three parts: Renovate, Activate and Celebrate.
Renovate stage is completed
This stage includes includes fencing the orchard and the asparagus patch, planting shade trees, making more compost bins and reworking the plotholders beds and fencing this area. The pictures below shows the potholders beds now complete and in full use! This is largely due to the hard work from our Work for the Dole team - thanks crew!
