Honouring a Legacy: The Sid Kelly Garden at San Miguel

PKF

A Garden with a Purpose...

We are proud to carry forward Sid's legacy and show support to yourtown and the San Miguel Family Centre. Sid’s passion for community inspired a project that reflects his spirit—a beautiful garden sanctuary at the San Miguel Family Centre.

The Sid Kelly Garden will be a tranquil and nurturing space where vulnerable young parents and their children can find joy, connection, and healing. This garden isn’t just a collection of plants and pathways—it’s a living legacy that embodies Sid’s commitment to community, and giving support to those who need it most.

Progress Update:

The Sid Kelly Garden at San Miguel is well underway, and we’re thrilled to share some exciting progress shots as this meaningful project takes shape. Thanks to the generous support of donors and the dedication of those involved, what was once an empty, unused space is being transformed into a beautiful sanctuary for vulnerable young families.

The initial stages of construction saw excavation and site preparation, setting the groundwork for what will become a tranquil retreat for families at San Miguel.
Key elements of the garden’s infrastructure are starting to take form. The installation of posts and foundational structures marks an important step, giving us a glimpse of the garden’s layout and future gathering spaces.
With layers of gravel, soil, and structural reinforcements now in place, the site is beginning to resemble a functional, well-planned garden space.
The installation of drainage and contouring of pathways ensures durability and accessibility for all who will enjoy this sanctuary.

A Tradition of Care and Support

For over 40 years, the San Miguel Family Centre has been a haven for at-risk families, providing a safe home, specialist support, and the opportunity to heal from trauma. The Sid Kelly Garden will extend this tradition of care by creating an inspiring outdoor environment that continues to offer hope and healing.

Sid Kelly was not only a visionary in building PKF into a Australia's leading commercial flooring company, but also a dedicated advocate for community support. His generous spirit and commitment to the San Miguel Family Centre left an indelible mark on the lives of many. This garden is a tribute to his memory—a place where every child and parent can find peace and build a brighter future.
