Joining a community garden is a great way to connect with your local community, grow fresh food, learn and share skills and spend time in nature.
Yarra City Council is proud to support a number of community gardens on public land. We do not manage these gardens directly, each garden is managed by a volunteer garden management committee.
If you want to be part of one of Yarra's existing community gardens, please contact the garden management committee.
