Presenter: Chris Ferreira

The Growing Communities WA project aims to build the capacity of community gardens across Western Australia.

WA Growing Communities:

• Community gardens are becoming more popular as people seek fulfilling leisure time activities where they can interact with others in the area they live.
• Community gardens are helping locals tackle some of our biggest issues – like climate change and peak oil, the obesity epidemic and unemployment.
• They are a relatively new phenomenon in WA and there are currently 20 operating with another 5 approved for construction.
• Community gardens can be found in inner city areas, the suburbs, regional areas and remote Aboriginal communities.
• Growing Communities WA is an organisation that provides information and inspiration, as well as building skills and knowledge to support community gardens.
