Forster Community Garden
The Forster Community Garden is located in the heart of Forster and is run by volunteeers and horticulturalist Megan Cooke. The garden is unique in that all garden beds are shared amongst the volunteers – unlike other gardens where individuals look after their own plots within a fenced in garden. The benefits of being a volunteer are that you can eat organic produce all year round and it won’t cost you a cent! All garden beds are planted in beautifully decorated half water tanks, therefore allowing access to all members of the community. The garden consists of 20 large garden beds and 20 smaller ones – all to produce vegetables and culinary herbs. Local bush tucker and citrus trees have also been planted. Volunteers meet every Tuesday from 9:00am – 12:00. Come along and meet new people in the community and learn about sustainable gardening practices.
