The Community Gardens website has a great description of this garden:
"5 Senses Garden is a place for the entire community offering workshops, volunteering opportunities and a space for local growing and social connections. The garden provides tailored activities for residential care facilities, schools, hospital programs, and other not-for-profit organisations.
"The garden is a short distance (approximately five-minute walk) along the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway from Concord Repatriation General Hospital. Patients, staff, and visitors will have access to the garden, providing opportunities for health professionals to run patient recovery and treatment programs." [ex-5 Senses Community Garden]
As an initiative of the City of Canada Bay council, and the Inner West Neighbour Aid volunteers, this garden aims to engage, educate and bring young and old, abled and disabled of the community together. Part of the 5 Senses experience is from providing a variety of 'Bush Tucker' plants, including: Lillipilli, Finger-lime, Geebung, Apple-berry, Midyimberry, Wattle Seeds, Lemon Scented Myrtle, Pig Face, Native Cranberry, Warrigal Greens, and Banksia and Grevillea nectar flowers (info from signage in the park).
