The purpose of our organisation is to provide fresh, healthy, low cost food that can substitute for otherwise expensive food purchases; to encourage physical activity for all age groups; create a social gathering place for the community and encourage sharing of inter generational knowledge; enable participants to learn basic gardening skills, from sowing seeds to harvesting, and gain a better understanding their food system; provide a welcoming space for participants to build self-confidence, wellness, and personal skills; and help improve the local environment by preserving and growing green space and by encouraging people to act as local stewards.
