King’s Park and City Farm

Saturday, March 18th, 2006

2006_02_18_326.jpgThis morning we visited King’s Park with Bailey. Dogs are allowed in most area’s of the park, on a leash.

We walked in the parklands area, but there is also a lot of bush (with paths) you can walk in.

Was nice weather, got very hot later on.
Summers come late!

Afterwards we went to City Farm in East Perth. I’ve wanted to go for a long time. We walked around, and went to the organic market which is held every Saturday morning.
City Farm is an organic community garden, education and network centre that operates on permaculture principles. We promote healthy urban environments that are productive and diverse.
The East Perth City Farm was founded in 1994 as an initiative of the Planetary Action Network (PAN), the youth branch of Men of the Trees in Western Australia.
