Growing Communities is an independent, not-for-profit agency of Northey Street City Farm, set up to promote the establishment, development and on-going support of schools and community gardens in South East Queensland and beyond.

 
We envisage a thriving network of community gardens in schools and other communities throughout Queensland. We focus on community building and gardening in order to address the issues of sustainability, food security and nutrition.

By working closely with a wide range of people, we seek to develop accessible solutions for them to tackle these big issues. We offer practical and transferable models of set-up, training, follow-through and evaluation that ensure the long-term sustainability of community gardens.

Our work is based around permaculture and encouraging the development of sustainable agricultural practices in urban areas and promoting the cultural richness of food, plants and people. Back
