Chapel Street Community Garden – Growing Together

In 2024 the City of Burnside offered the Community Grants Program, providing financial support to local community groups of up to $5,000. These funds were to help deliver community programs and services that would otherwise go unfulfilled.

One grant recipient was Chapel Street Community Garden who are looking to launch their pilot program 'Growing Together', aimed at teaching local youth the fundamentals of at home garden sustainability.

‘Growing Together’ aims to enhance Chapel Street Community Garden as an educational space for local children with the help of experienced volunteer gardeners, focusing on sustainable food production and fostering a connection with nature. This initiative is designed to educate young children about sustainable food production, promote healthy eating and foster a sense of community responsibility and environmental stewardship.

Kensington Gardens & Magill Ward Councillor Jo Harvey said the community garden was a hub for local enthusiasts and the grant money would provide vital support to the fledgling program, as it seeks to guide local children through the process of sustainable food production from planting to harvesting.
