Australian City Farms & Community Gardens Network

An informal, community-based organisation linking people interested in community gardening from around Australia. Within our limits of our capacity, the network:

  • advocates on behalf of community gardeners

  • provides information on our website

  • provides presentations and advice to local government, other institutions and communities interested in establishing community gardens.

  • documents the development of community gardening in Australia

  • provides a list of contacts through which the public may contact community gardens.

The Australian City Farms and Community Gardens Network connects community gardeners around Australia.
