Community Garden

At the Linde Community Garden you can grow organic fruit and vegetables and learn more about gardening and food production from other like-minded people.

The Linde Community Garden is located in the south-western corner of Linde Reserve, just off Stepney Street, and is managed by the NPSP Community Garden Association Inc, a not-for-profit incorporated organisation.

The Community Garden is open to members every day, to further establish the garden beds and the composting system. The Garden also provides a meeting place to share ideas and skills and aims to foster a stronger sense of community.

Hands-on learning opportunities for members to date include building a worm farm, propagating plants from seeds and building a wicking garden, which is a technique incorporating self-watering beds which water plants from below rather than above.

The Garden operates as a shared communal facility, although selected garden beds will be made available to smaller groups of people with a special interest. A number of raised garden beds will also allow access for those with limited mobility and flexibility.

The Community Garden is also a model for good environmental practice, demonstrating ways to save water, reduce waste and promote biodiversity. The completed Linde Reserve Stormwater Harvesting & Reuse Scheme will provide for all irrigation and non-potable water requirements of the Community Garden.
