Our Mission – Growing Food, Nourishing Community
Within this tropical oasis, Garden-Members gather every week to fulfill a shared vision of Growing Food, Nourishing Community. We achieve this by sharing our knowledge and passion for all things gardening and sustainability and striving together to grow and enjoy fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

The Gardens are guided by ‘Five Tenets of Sustainability’. These tenets were decided upon by Garden-Members to ensure that everything we do will continue to support the future growth and sustainability of the Gardens while enriching the wider Innisfail and Cassowary Coast community.
