Community garden planting day at Little Brighton Reserve
We’re excited to be installing a community garden near the playground at Little Brighton Reserve, for local residents to connect and grow communal produce.
The seed for the shared garden was planted by a local resident, with support growing when we engaged the local community on the concept designs in April – May 2022.
Works to install the community garden are scheduled to commence from 17 October, weather permitting.
To help kick start the garden, a community planting day hosted by Cultivating Community is being held on 9 November from 12 – 1.30pm. Everyone is welcome and no RSVP is required. During the planting session, we'll also be sharing information about seasonal crops, caring for seedlings and natural plant protection from pests.
Members of the local community can join the Friends of Little Brighton Reserve Community Garden group by registering as a volunteer via our volunteer webpage or by signing up on the community planting day.

The design for the community garden is shown in the below image.
