When was Padbury Community Garden first created?Padbury Community Garden Inc. (PCG) was founded in June 2021, through the heart and passion of a few community members with a vision. PCG quickly evolved into a Charity that started working towards reducing isolation and improving mental health of the residents throughout the community. In August 2023, the City of Joondalup Council unanimously supported PCG to establish a community garden at Gibson Park in Padbury, Western Australia. In February 2024, PCG began establishing a community garden in Gibson Park, Padbury Western Australia. This is where PCG operate most of their organised events for the community out of, to bring their vision alive.

Are dogs welcome?Yes, dogs are very welcome. We kindly ask that you ensure that you keep an eye on your dog whilst in the garden and clean up after them. We are finding a lot of people letting their dogs roam the garden on their own, and as a result we are stumbling across a lot of unwanted presents left around the garden. Please respect the garden and bring your our bags to clean up after your dogs, or the City has some available near the playground at Gibson Park.
