The directory locates community gardens across Australia. Almost 800 community gardens appear on our map, but we know there are many more gardens in Australia that don’t appear. It’s not a complete listing of all community gardens, only those which have provided their details.

About garden listings
Community gardens, city farms, school gardens and community education centres can list themselves in our national directory.
For a new listing, have your garden name and location, contact details, garden type, brief description, accessibility information and membership status ready.
For an existing listing, identify your garden and tell us what needs changing. The CGA team will review your request before updating the directory.
What is a community garden?
Community gardens are shared green spaces where neighbours grow food, flowers and community together. They appear on council land, schools, churches, or community centres and include:
- Food production gardens
- Medicinal/permaculture gardens
- Pollinator habitats and education centres
- Therapeutic and accessible gardens
- Most are volunteer-run and welcome new members (some have waitlists).
