It’s almost time for the return of colour to our favourite garden in Parramatta.

Today volunteers assisted the Greater Sydney Parklands be preparing the bed for planting.

Another stunning winters day at Wistaria Gardens since 1906

So many members of the public ask us while gardening - why no plants or colour except for during the Wistaria festival.

Well check out these rays of Sunshine in the volunteers garden beside the bridge.

Got down and check them out before the cockatoo gangs do!

VOLUNTEER POWER: Smashing more of the Cats Claw Creeper today. At this rate hopefully you’ll see a Lot Less of the Loch Ness Monster before Spring. This ‘horrendous invasive weed’ has smothered Wisteria for decades.

It’s fantastic to see the heritage sandstone walls along the waterways in Wistaria Gardens being carefully repaired by Greater Sydney Parklands.

These walls are an important part of the park’s history and character, and preserving them helps protect the stories and beauty of this special place for future generations.

A huge thank you to the Greater Sydney Parklands team for investing in the conservation of this treasured heritage landscape. Every restoration project like this helps ensure Wistaria Gardens continues to be a place where history, nature and community come together.

We can’t wait to see the finished result! 🌿👏

🌿🐱 CAT’S CLAW CREEPER BEWARE! 🐱🌿

One of the biggest threats to our beautiful Wistaria Gardens isn’t drought or storms, it’s Cat’s Claw Creeper.

Despite its innocent name, this invasive vine can quickly smother trees, damage heritage landscapes and outcompete native plants. Left unchecked, it can climb into tree canopies and overwhelm entire sections of the garden.

Today our dedicated volunteers spent time removing Cat’s Claw Creeper and clearing areas of the gardens. It’s hard work, but every vine removed helps restore the health and beauty of this special place.

There’s still plenty more to do. Our long-term goal is to reopen views to the water, improve sightlines through the gardens and create more opportunities for Wisteria to flourish and reclaim its rightful place in the landscape.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time today. Together we’re helping restore one of Parramatta’s hidden gems for future generations to enjoy. 💚

We’re always keen to welcome new volunteers. Whether you can spare an hour or a morning, every helping hand makes a difference. If you’d like to get involved, check out the link below to register as a Wistaria Gardens volunteer and join our growing community of garden lovers.
