Sunday Garden Sessions with Urban Commons

 Urban Commons is pleased to announce the opening of Fitzroy’s finest new pocket park!

Commissioned by Kalex Projects, they have transformed the old Manfax car park into a verdant native and productive garden for Summer gardening workshops and cooking events.

The outcome is an architecturally inspired grassy knoll with recycled timber deck and stunning flowering Gum. The existing garden beds have also been given a new lease of life with Silver gums and a lush assortment of native ground cover and grasses.

 The space will also feature their Tilt outdoor kitchenette and Foodscape range.

Join Urban Commons this Summer at Fitzroy’s finest new pocket park to learn how you can transform your balcony into an urban oasis!
