Have your say on the amended design of the Cove Community Garden!

In February 2023, the community were asked to provide feedback on a proposal for a new community garden on council land at Perry Bar Farm, Hallett Cove. Your feedback was then used by The Cove Community Garden Inc Group to make changes to the proposed garden design.

Discover Marion's diverse native grasses

City of Marion hosts a wide range of native grasses, including Kangaroo Grass, Wallaby Grass, Spear Grass and Silky Blue Grass. These grasses play a vital role in biodiversity, soil health and a resilient environment. 

During this time of year, we avoid cutting these precious grasses as frequent mowing disrupts their lifecycle growth.

Keep an eye out for native grasses on your next walk through one of our many biodiversity reserves!
