What is a Community Garden?
Community gardens are great places to grow a sense of community and to build connections, as well as to grow food! Many community and neighbourhood centres have an association with a community garden.
Community gardens and city farms are places where people come together to grow fresh food, to learn, relax and make new friends. This website provides a map of all the gardens across SA and Australia. Please encourage any community gardens not on the map to do so!
