The vision of the Whittlesea Community Garden is to create a welcoming space accessible to all members of our community that offers diverse pathways for people to: • learn - create a sustainable community resource for current and future generations to enjoy; • share - promote and enable social connection within the community; • grow - provide a space for people to come together for a range of community building activities; • heal - provide opportunities for reflection and have opportunities to improve health and wellbeing. The WCG offers garden beds for lease (individuals & groups), shared garden beds and provides a community space that includes walking paths, picnic table & chairs, ornamental garden beds, art displays, an amphitheatre and a reflective area. We have twice weekly supported session times when a facilitator and volunteers are always on site and available to introduce new people, co-ordinate activities and provide friendship, knowledge and support. While the prime interest in the community garden is actual gardening, a large number of people in our community have seen the opportunity for community connections without gardening. From this a number of arts projects have developed, as well as groups with interests in using the garden for community meetings and a learning space with workshops and guest speakers. The community use of the garden is not limited to gardening!
