Veggie Garden & Composting

Built with sustainable living, health and connection in mind, space has been carved out at the Village for a much-loved community garden.

Designed to complement each home’s private rear yard (ideal for a mini growing space), this larger hub, complete with raised garden beds, will allow the Village residents to come together to plant fruits, vegetables and herbs. The area includes a potting shed, worm farm and composting area, where fresh food scraps from your home can be converted into a natural source of plant food for the garden.

The communal garden is an ideal place for the “green thumbs” of Helena Valley to share their food cultivation knowledge, link up with each other and stay well.

Research shows gardening is not only a great way to encourage people to eat seasonal produce and enrich their diets but also helps them reap the mental health benefits of getting their hands in the soil and connecting with nature.

On top of this, gardening is a fabulous way to stay physically active and lap up some essential sunshine and fresh air.

Producing food for your own consumption minimises the impact on the environment by reducing the need for transportation, therefore decreasing pollution, does away with the need for food packaging, and slashes food waste.

Our community garden and composting area will also help us reduce our waste to landfill doing our little part to benefit generations to come.
