How we work
The community garden is run by a committee of Garden Co-ordinators, which host the garden for one year and are involved in the bulk of the decision making. We run weekly workshops and working bees that anyone can come along to, occasionally throw events, and are happy to share the garden as a venue for events run by other clubs and societies. We have a budget allocation from the Enviro Department with which to develop the garden and the community around it.
We aim to
- grow sustainable and organic food
- inspire people to grow their own food
- provide a place for learning about healthy food
- show an alternative to how public space can be used
- create a strong sense of community here at Melbourne University
