Landscape Gardening

All the Flower & Rose Gardens at Greenway have been developed over the last two years with the assistance of two of our partners, The North Sydney Council and Laing O’Rourke.  The ongoing development and growth of these areas is only achieved because of the dedication of volunteer residents of Greenway who selfishly give so much of their free time to make these gardens a feature of Greenway. Volunteers are always required for this ongoing project. If you are interested in helping please call at the Community Centre or telephone

Food Services

From the generosity of OzHarvest on Wednesday and Saturday mornings at 10.00am sharp we distribute from the Community Centre Food parcels, consisting of individual meals, both fresh and frozen, vegetables, fresh fruit & cakes. Sometimes there are additional items such as Milk, cooking oil, drinks and health food bars.

Vegetable  Gardens

There are many vegetable and flower gardens at Greenway these are operated by residents at their own expense. These are not community gardens for other residents to harvest when the plants have matured. In most cases the operator of each individual garden is happy to share what he or she has grown with other residents. Please be courteous and ask don’t just take.

On the 1st Sunday each month at 11.00am a group of parishioners from the St John’s Church by the bridge hold a Church Service in the Central Garden Area at Greenway. Following the service a free barbecue is provided for residents and friends who have attended the service.
