Balcony Garden Forum

You don't need a backyard to make a difference.

Join us at Perth City Farm for an inspiring evening exploring how balconies, courtyards and other small spaces can help create a greener, healthier and more resilient city.

Whether you want to grow food, attract wildlife, cool your home or simply bring more nature into your life, this forum will show how even the smallest urban spaces can have a meaningful impact.

Hear from:

Chris Ferreira, The Forever Project
Chris will explore the broader benefits of small-space gardening, including increased biodiversity, improved air quality and reduced urban heat.

City of Perth Urban Greening Team
Hear about the City’s urban greening goals and how residents can contribute to a greener Perth.

Catherine Lezer, Strata Community Association WA will be MCing the evening - and as a balcony battling her own sun and wind challenges, she knows firsthand some of the problems urban city dwellers experience.

You will also have the opportunity to explore Perth City Farm’s new balcony garden demonstration area and gather practical inspiration for your own space.

The evening will include presentations, conversation and time to connect with other urban gardeners and curious beginners. No gardening experience is needed.

Drinks will be available to purchase from the bar.
