 In 2016 the Frontyard janitors and friends installed two raised beds in the backyard of 228 Illawarra Road. Sydney artist [[Gilbert Grace]] provided design and permaculture advice while [http://107.org.au/ 107 Projects] gifted second hand wood and other building materials.

+We are working with permaculture principles to experiment with how the pleasure and responsibilities of a common garden play out in a shared space with temporary residents. At Frontyard there are now four raised garden beds, a sweet potato patch, and worm farm all overlooked by resident trees. The garden is abundant with many energies: it is a place for food, a place to gather and a place to learn. At Frontyard we look at the garden as a sign and example of vitality - if the garden is thriving, so are we.

+At the end of [[Jennifer Hamilton|Jennifer Mae Hamilton]]'s Frontyard residency in January 2018, she instigated a working bee to populate two of the four garden beds. A collection of volunteer gardeners turned compost in to the soil, planted green manure, herbs and vegetables. Tomatoes and pumpkins sprouted from the compost, fruiting well in to the Sydney winter.
