What is the Canterbury Community Gardens Association?

The Canterbury Community Gardens Association is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to promoting and supporting community gardens in the Canterbury region. We believe that community gardens are an essential part of healthy, sustainable communities and work to provide resources, training, and support for gardeners and garden projects.

How can I get involved?

There are many ways to get involved! You can join a local community garden, volunteer your time or resources, attend our events and workshops, or even start your own community garden. Visit our "Get Involved" page for more details.

How can I start a community garden in my neighbourhood?

The Canterbury Community Gardens Association is here to support you in this wonderful initiative. We provide resources and guidelines on our "Start a Garden" page, which outlines the process from finding a suitable site to engaging the community and maintaining the garden.

Do I have to bring my own tools and supplies to the community garden?

This can vary from garden to garden. Many community gardens have a shared pool of tools and basic gardening supplies. However, you may want to bring your own gloves or specific tools if you prefer. It's always a good idea to check with the coordinators of your specific garden.

What happens to the produce grown in the community gardens?

Produce grown in community gardens is typically shared among the participants. Some gardens might also donate a portion of their produce to local food banks or other charitable organisations. The exact distribution of produce will depend on the guidelines set by each individual garden.
