We have a community garden in Onslow that we would like to register, it is approx 1,400kms north west of Perth and we have just about completed all our major foundation work with an emphasis on health being the main focus of our garden. It has a fruit forest and a large outdoor kitchen and wood fired oven and will be a meeting place for community groups and host monthly market days and be used to deliver health related services and larger community events. We have a page on facebook “Onslow Community garden” and would love to join any networks that will give us the ability to interact and learn from other models especially in Australia.
Kind regards,
Marcelle Coakley
