The Lakeview Contemplation Garden in Edgewater is a small community garden focused on growing WA native species.  Members of the local community took over what was once just another suburban park and turned it into a thriving mass of plants from around the state. Some of the volunteers who helped establish the garden will discuss its history and purpose before taking us on a guided tour.  The garden covers only 1000sqm so our visit will not take more than 45-60 minutes.

This will be a joint excursion with members of the Northern Suburbs Branch of the Wildflower Society.

We will meet at the Edgewater Shopping Centre, corner Edgewater Drive and Wisteria Parade at 9.00am, then car pool to the garden as parking space near the garden is very limited. If you arrive late, park at the top of Ridge Close off Edgewater Drive and enter the garden from the rear entrance.

Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather.

Bring morning tea – we will have it in the gardens, subject to the weather.
