Markham Avenue - Community Gardens

Boroondara Councillor, Kevin Chow, with Rotary Club of Canterbury President, Brian Bloomer, and State MP, Bob Stensholt, officially opened the Markham Avenue Community Gardens on Sunday 11 October, 2009.

The Community Gardens are the brain-child of Roger Taylor, Member of the Rotary Club of Canterbury. Roger planted the seed for the gardens 5 years ago and he has passionately nurtured the idea, gathering support from Local and State government and other local community groups. Thanks to funding and land grants from state and local govt the Community Gardens are now a reality.
