We acknowledge the traditional owners throughout South Australia and we pay respect to the custodians of the land on which we live and learn. We respect their spiritual relationship with Country and acknowledge that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to those living today.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and we acknowledge the cultural authority of Aboriginal people visiting from other areas of South Australia and Australia.

Our Story

Nestled on North Street, Adelaide, the Green Gate Garden is known as “the secret garden of North Street”. Established 15 years ago, the garden is run by not-for-profit community organisation West End Village Association (WEVA).

The garden is open to the community between 11 am and 4 pm Monday - Saturday all year, except when booked for private functions and on public holidays.

The garden relies on a local group of willing volunteers. Membership is open to individuals, families and businesses who live or operate in the west end of Adelaide.

Want to help out and become part of our little community? Membership details can be found here!

Thanks so much to all the WEVA members who came out this morning to the working bee. The garden is looking beautiful! WEVA maintain the garden not just for the members but for the whole West End community to enjoy. So thank you Adrian, Ro, Josh, Wendy, Ursula and Rob for all your hard work this morning. 👏👏👏👏👏#community #communitygarden #city #cityliving #green

Ermagawd! Figs galore. Last year’s pruning has certainly paid off. All our fig trees are completely covered in fruit. Give them a few more weeks and they will be ready for wrapping in a bit of prosciutto with goat’s cheese or just straight off the tree! You know the rules though, only take as many as you need, so that we can all share them. 😊 #secretgarden #secretgardens #cityliving #communitygarden

We love to reuse and recycle in the Green Gate Garden. Garden member and volunteer Vic has transformed pallets, donated by our local business member @noigroup into this handy little shed for our garden equipment. John and Wendy repurposed an unused fire pit to keep greening our little oasis. Thanks so much Vic, John and Wendy. #community #communitygarden #secretgarden #cityliving #reuse
