The Willetton Community Garden Association Inc. (WCGA) is a volunteer-driven community organisation founded in 2015. Its roots trace back to the early support of the Rostrata Primary School Parents and Citizens Association, which helped lay the groundwork before the Association was officially established.
2014 – 2016
First steps in building garden infrastructure
Raised garden beds, storage sheds, reticulation and composting bays were constructed using recycled materials where practical.
Funding sources included grants from Lotterywest, the WA state government, the City of Canning, the Rotary Club of Willetton and in-kind support from Rostrata Primary School.





2017 – 2019
Building our community connections
Early harvests included tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. The Willetton Community Garden gained more members and community partners to develop a welcoming space promoting sustainable gardening and social connections.



2020
A vital community resource
During the challenges of COVID-19, the garden provided a positive venue for people to spend productive time outdoors by themselves and then later in small groups following safety protocols.


2021 – 2024
Continuing to grow
More projects such as the upgrade of our reticulation systems, solar panels and batteries have been made possible through grants from the City of Canning, WA state government and our local MP Dr Jags Krishnan.
