How our Garden Grew...
The garden was built in 2019 by the City of Boroondara for local residents and is now overseen by a volunteer committee of management.
The garden's name reflects the location's links to Boroondara's past and the historic train station that was located there. Willsmere Station was part of the old steam era Outer Circle Rail Line that ran for two years, from 1891 to 1893. In naming the garden Willsmere Station Community Garden, we hope to help foster a strong sense of place for the community and garden users.
