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. Watch us growAt 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.

=== The garden grows ===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.
