Borthwick Park – a lovely green space bounded by Thornton Street, Richmond Street, Bridge Street and Second Creek – is the focus of a community-led project supported by the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters and Green Adelaide.

Borthwick Park working bees are held on the 2nd Sunday of every month 9-11am. Come along on Sunday 13th October and see what we get up to.

Most likely we’ll be pulling weeds and topping up mulch where soil was left exposed during our winter planting.

Volunteering locally is a great way to meet new people in your neighbourhood. Bring the kids. Invite a friend or neighbour to volunteer with you. Jobs for all ages and capabilities. No prior gardening experience necessary. All training and tools are provided.

Wear enclosed footwear and clothing to suit the weather. Bring your KRA volunteer vest if you have one or we’ll issue you with on on the day.

Call John for more details on 0422 909 710.


If you can’t manage physical gardening work, you are most welcome to join us for morning tea from 11am. Free tea, coffee, and a delicious spread of morning tea treats on offer. We’d love to see you.
