A Garden in the City

A few weeks ago I was intrigued to discover the Urban Orchard in the Perth Cultural Centre.

According to the official website, the "...planter boxes are made from recycled waste from other parts of the building works, the plants are managed organically and will be harvested and planted seasonally. This is the embodiment of sustainable community gardening and is a resource for all."

I think that this is such a great idea. The fruit trees and vegetables and herbs are available for all to use and I hope that is is used in a positive way. It is great to bring food production so close to the city.
