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.

Over two weekends in late 2017 several tonnes of heavy garden beds and soil were shifted to Frontyard by a couple of Frontyard Janitors and an intrepid crew of volunteers from Marrickville/Sydney and from as far as Newcastle. The four garden beds were shifted from "[http://earlwoodfarm.com/ Earlwood Farm]", a project of love, labour and place in Inner Sydney that wrapped up in 2018. The beds had been installed at Earlwood Farm by the artist [https://www.gabrielledevietri.net/#/gardenofbadflowers/ Gabrielle Di Vietri], and a large team of volunteers, when Di Vietri boycotted the Biennale of Sydney in 2014.

The future of the two unpopulated garden beds currently resting up against the wall is still under discussion.
