Garden Grant Program

It’s been a great pleasure for me to attend ACT government community garden grants program. Minister for the Environment, Parks, and Land Management - Rebecca Vassarotti MLA announced the list of successful applicants. Our application is successful, and we are going to start building our community garden next to the Gunghalin Mosque.

Project description

The Canberra Muslim Community Inc will establish a Multicultural Community Garden next to the Gungahlin Mosque. They hope the garden will build social connections and community resilience. They envision the garden as a space for cultural exchange. The garden will support the physical and mental wellbeing of community members. They have designed the garden for food production, composting, growing herbs and spices from around the world. It will support sustainable garden practices and pollination. A secure fence will enclose eleven garden beds.
