Vincent COMMUNITY Shed
Vincent Community Shed is a place where members can meet, share or learn skills, converse, work on projects or just come and have a cuppa in a safe friendly environment.
Vincent Community Shed was opened as Vincent Men's Shed in 2014. In 2024 it became Vincent Community Shed to reflect its commitment to expanding reach and impact within the community.
There is an Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) and also a WA Men’s Shed Association (WAMSA). Vincent Community Shed follows the basic structure recommended by these organisations, however, with the input of the members, it has created its own unique identity.
Membership is always open. For more information or to obtain a membership form please contact the committee by email or visit their website.
North Perth Community Garden
Located at 10 Farmer Street, North Perth.
North Perth Community Garden (NPCG) is a community hub where people can gather, socialise, garden and learn about sustainability initiatives.
NPCG is an incorporated body and is operated by a community steering committee and supported by the City of Vincent.
At NPCG, Vincent residents have three options of membership: annually leasing an individual plot, an annual contribution toward the community plots and access to the produce from the community plot or a friend of NPCG membership.

Short film
A short film is featuring NPCG. Vincent produced this film and we were lucky enough to have Colin, the Chair of the garden, talk about the project.
