At the heart of the Charity is our vibrant community garden,
'built by the community, for the community'
with the aim of bringing people together through a shared purpose and hands‑on learning. Located in Padbury, Western Australia, the community garden provides a safe, inclusive space that encourages connection to one another and nature, supports positive mental health, and reduces social isolation.
We proudly uphold practices that ensure all community members feel valued and safe, including First Nations people, those with exceptional needs, LGBTIQ+ community members, culturally diverse groups, older adults, families, and other underrepresented cohorts within the community. Guided by our commitment to inclusion, social good, cultural respect, and environmental stewardship, our events and community garden exists to create a welcoming and supportive place where every person—regardless of age, ability, culture, identity, or background—can gather, learn, contribute, and belong.
Padbury Community Garden Inc. are proud to be a registered community partner of Mentally Healthy WA – Act Belong Commit, actively embedding A‑B‑C principles into our programs to support positive mental wellbeing and encourage meaningful community participation.
Collaboration is central to our values, and we are privileged to work alongside a range of charities, community groups, and local organisations to broaden our impact, share resources, amplify community connection, and ensure each others programs reach and support as many people as possible.
Padbury Community Garden Inc. is a solely volunteer‑run, not‑for‑profit, registered charitable organisation, dedicated to strengthening community connection, fostering wellbeing, and nurturing the environment.
Don't get fooled by our name...
we are so much more than
'JUST'
