| |
| Community Gardening
is about uniting our community's
knowledge, skills, and
resources to grow and
sustain edible gardens.
|
| |
| Community gardens
also foster community
development, leadership
skills, community networking,
and forums for education,
health and wellbeing. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
| The
Community Gardens Facilitator
can help individuals and
groups find the support
they need to successfully
establish and run their
own back yard garden,
community garden, or gardening
group. |
| |
|
|
| With rising
food prices and increased
interest in living more
sustainably, the age old
tradition of people growing
their own fruit and vegetables
has seen resurgence in
popularity over the past
few years. However, not
everyone has the confidence
to grow their own food.
Fortunately Waitakere
is rich with knowledge
and resources just waiting
to be utilised. |
