Basic Information
We are located Cnr Queen St Nth & Dyte Parade Ballarat, on land managed by the Ballarat City Council and visitors are welcome.
The BCG was built in 2004/2005 after several years of planning and lobbying. Approximately 75 beds have been built and, plus 4 raised beds and 6 vegetable boxes.
We aspire to be a place where people can Grow, Learn and Connect.
We are a not-for-profit organisation promoting organic and sustainable gardening practices for the benefit, enjoyment, and education of our members and associates.
The BCG facilitates and assists members to maintain and enjoy their garden beds.
The wider community is welcomed to events and provides an associate membership to encourage the community to be part of the garden’s broader activities and connect with other people with an interest in community gardening.
Management of the BCG
The responsibility for managing the community garden rests with Ballarat Community Garden Committee. The committee consists of up eleven members with a quorum of no less than five to be able to conduct meetings.
All committee members are appointed on a voluntary basis.
