A letter box drop was completed around Tighes Hill west of William Street inviting interested residents to attend a public meeting in the Church Grounds on Sunday 28th August 2011. About 25-30 people turned up and expressed interest and excitement at the prospect of another Community Garden in Tighes Hill. It was explained that the use of the space was made possible through the generosity of the local Catholic Parish. It was agreed by those present that the garden would be a shared garden rather than individuals/families establishing their own plots. There was agreement also that no pesticides or other chemicals be used and there was a preference for raised garden beds for the growing of vegies. It was also agreed that a working group be established to liaise with the Parish and to investigate the most viable options for garden layout, construction materials, organisational structure etc.
Another Community Garden for the Residents of Tighes Hill. The Terrace community garden is a ministry of the Catholic Parish for all Tighes Hill residents. Garden beds are cared for by all with the produce shared by all.
