The objectives are to manage our beautiful Community Garden to enable people to learn, socialise, have fun, and grow organic produce for themselves and to share.

A beautiful garden is built on sustainable organic principles that are in harmony with nature and neighbours, where all members:

1. take an active interest in the aesthetics of the entire garden
2. maintain the site to the standard required to meet the present and future needs of the Association, members, and the local community.

A place to learn and share knowledge of

1. organic gardening methods
2. waste reduction
3. water and solar harvesting
4. sustainable living.

A place to socialise and to have fun, where all members feel a sense of:

1. belonging to a community
2. pride in what is being created now and for the future
3. ownership by the members and the community.
