Shouldn’t community gardens only be on derelict land?
It depends on many factors such as the purpose of the community garden, the type garden it is, the area it is servicing and the people who will benefit from the garden. The WBCG would very much encourage local residents to seek out pockets of underutilized land and start gardening. As observed in other local community garden projects, the social bonds that such projects produce are amazing. A community garden in Bunya Park would be a showpiece educational facility which could encourage a network of community gardens in Lake Macquarie.
