Community garden prepares for garden competition

The Woy Woy Peninsula Community Garden is ready for the 2016 Gosford City Garden Competition following a recent working bee.

The latest working bee was held on the morning of Sunday, July 31, and participants not only helped with garden competition preparations but had the opportunity to learn more about food and gardening.

The Woy Woy Peninsula Garden, a project of the Peninsula Environment Group, was started in December 2011.

Its aim was to build a sustainable community garden which would provide theoretical and practical information on growing and using organic food in an ecologically sustainable way.

It provides the community with education on environmentally-friendly, sustainable land use, and information on how to establish and maintain gardens to provide healthy food.

The garden incorporates a variety of growing areas including raised garden beds with vegetables, a small fruit grove, sensory and aromatic gardens, culinary and medicinal herb beds and bush tucker.

It is located at 85 to 87 Moana St, Woy Woy.
