OUR COMMUNITY GARDEN
The Buninyong Community Garden is a thriving space where locals come together to grow fresh produce, learn sustainable gardening practices, and strengthen bonds. Beyond offering fresh vegetables, the garden plays a vital role in enhancing food security by empowering residents to grow their own food. It fosters community resilience, promotes biodiversity, and creates a welcoming environment where people of all ages can share knowledge and skills. The garden supports environmental stewardship, health, and a more self-sufficient community.
