The Community Environment Centre is an educational resource, community hub and environmental demonstration site for residents, visitors, and volunteers on various topics such as gardening, planting natives and sustainability in the home and backyard.

These gardens, operated by The Hills Shire Council, were established and are maintained by passionate volunteers, including APS members.
