Community gardens are communal spaces where people can come together to grow food and learn about gardening.
Kingston's Community Garden Policy helps community groups to understand more about the responsibilities and requirements involved in setting up and managing a community garden on Council-owned or managed land.
We are updating the Policy to outline the responsibilities of different departments in Council in relation to community gardens, and to make the Policy easier for community members to understand.
We'd love your input. Please take a moment to share your feedback on the Draft Community Garden Policy via the link below.
