Filling in the Blanks is an open ended program that is here to help 16-25 year olds engage with our neighbourhood centres in ways that speak to them. Whether it is via programs that entice, learning skills that enhance or simply meeting like minded people, we hope engaging with and promoting our younger residents involvement in community spaces makes Marion better for all of us!

The City of Marion recognises that community gardens contribute to the wellbeing of communities and provide diverse health, social, environmental and cultural benefits. In particular:

• Community gardens have the potential to connect communities, build friendships and provide a recreation and educational resource for all age groups.
• Community gardens enable people to pursue horticultural activities in an urban environment and can be particularly valuable in medium and higher density areas where people may have limited garden space.
• Community gardens provide an opportunity to grow food in an environmentally sustainable way and contribute to addressing food security.

The community centre is home to a community garden. It hosts workshops on various gardening topics and is open every Tuesday for working bees and a chat.

A woodfired pizza day is run in the garden on the first Tuesday of each month with bookings essential. Bring your toppings and we'll supply the dough, sauce and cheese for a small charge.

Adult Community Education (ACE) provides adults with a wide range of non-formal, accredited and non-accredited learning opportunities.

The library was made by the team from woodwork as a community project. A local family approached the centre with a suggestion to make a small book library where people can swap books to share with their community as an honour to their father who loved words.
