🌱 Grow, Connect, Volunteer

Would you enjoy spending a couple of hours in the garden, learning something new and meeting people from your community?

Join us at Friendship Central for a hands-on micro-volunteering session. Together, we’ll propagate trees that will one day grow in our community permaculture garden. You’ll pick up skills to try at home, and there may even be cuttings to take away for your own garden.

It’s a free session, suitable for all abilities, and no previous gardening experience is needed. A light lunch will be provided at the end.

📅 Wednesday 18 November
🕥 10.30 am–12.30 pm
📍 Friendship Central, 4380 West Swan Road, West Swan
🚗 Free on-site parking

Whether you’re interested in volunteering, gardening, permaculture or simply connecting with others, we’d love to see you there.

Places are available through Humanitix:

Hosted by the City of Swan in partnership with the Swan Volunteer Resource Centre and Growing Friends Society (GFS).

A Micro-Volunteering Event with the Swan Volunteer Resource Centre and Growing Friends Society (GFS). Come learn, connect & contribute through permaculture!

140 Years of Friendship; reimagined 🌟🌿

Friendship Central is the next chapter of GFS Perth (Growing Friends Society), a Western Australian charity with more than 140 years of history creating opportunities for connection, community, and belonging.

We believe that friendship is one of the most powerful forces for good in the world and that communities flourish when people of all ages and backgrounds have somewhere to gather, something meaningful to do, and someone to do it with.

Friendship Central is launching in November in West Swan and we cannot wait to welcome you. 💙

Where Friendships and a Greener Tomorrow Meet 💙🌿

Friendship Central is a bold new community hub being built in the Swan Valley and it’s unlike anything else in Perth.

Part café, part permaculture garden, part learning environment, it’s a place where people of all ages can connect, grow, contribute, and belong, and it’s being built right now, step by step, with and for the community.

Who is behind it?
