Borthwick Park is the focus of a community-led revegetation project supported by the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters and Green Adelaide. Find this lovely green space tucked between Thornton Street, Richmond Street, Bridge Street and Second Creek in Kensington.
Working bees are held on the 2nd Sunday of every month 9-11am to maintain the shrubs, vines, grasses and ground cover understorey plantings established since 2009. Prior to commencement of the project the majestic remnant river red gums in the park were marooned in a sea of kikuyu grass.
Join us in the park on Sunday 10th November between 9am and 11am. Most likely we’ll be pulling weeds, topping up mulch, tip pruning shrubs, perhaps some hose-watering. whatever needs doing!
