Neighbourhood Bookstore Cafe

For 13 years, 898 Westminster Avenue-near the corner of Ruby & Westminster Streets, was known as The Neighbourhood Bookstore and Café. It was run by Bill Fugler & frequented by many locals.

Gardening Red boots

We had a great crowd and an information-packed evening last month at the GARDENING FOR ALL event with Rod Kueneman, one of the founding members of the Sustainable South Osborne Co-op.

The organic gardens & orchards created by the Riverview & Lord Roberts communities are truly inspiring, providing not only fresh produce, but also safe, beautiful & bountiful spaces, where neighbours can play & work together.

And we’d love to create the same kind of gardens in Wolseley...

So whether you’re a 65 or 25, a total novice, a master gardener, or just interested in learning more about growing food, then come and work with us to create a community garden plan for Wolseley.

To get involved just go to the Wolseley Residents' Association website and navigate to our Contact Us page to send us a message!
