Borthwick Park is nestled between Second Creek and Thornton, Richmond Street and Bridge Streets in Kensington 5068. This lovely green space has been the focus of a community-driven revegetation project, supported by the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters and Green Adelaide, for the past 15 years. It’s hard to imagine when you visit the Park today, but when the project began the creek bank was choked with weeds and badly eroded, and the precious remnant river red gums were marooned in an expanse of kikuyu grass.
On the 2nd Sunday of every month 9-11am we hold a working bee to maintain the understorey plants established since the project began in 2009.
🌳 Come along for an hour or two to help keep the park looking its best Whether you can weed, mulch, tidy or simply lend a hand, all help is welcome. No prior gardening experience necessary.
🌳 Bring the kids. Invite a friend or neighbour to volunteer with you or come by yourself and catch up with other locals in the park.
🌳 Tools and gloves are provided, but feel free to bring your own hat, sunscreen and a water bottle. Wear enclosed footwear and clothing suitable for gardening.
🌳 Bring your KRA volunteer vest if you have one, otherwise we’ll issue you with on on the day.
