The Charnwood Community Garden, established in 1991, is approx. 7500sqm in size. It is leased by Canberra Organic Growers Society Inc from the ACT Government. Currently the garden has over 50 very active gardeners of all ages and backgrounds working over 60 allotment style plots ranging in size between inground plots 25 and 200sqm. Raised garden beds range from 2 sqm to 4.5 sqm. The garden is always on the lookout for keen gardeners to join and embrace organic growing principles, especially the younger generation.
