Happy Birthday Cairns Community Garden


It's hard to believe a year has passed since the opening of Cairns Community Garden – and how things have changed! Visitors on their way to the library can't miss the location, thanks to the huge sign organized by the Department of Tropical Health and Medicine.



The vision begins

The past twelve months have been packed with picnics, market days and workshops, including ‘Growing relationships with PNG food’, gardening with wicking beds, companion planting and making food gardens from pallets. Don’t miss the Really Big Garden Feast on Saturday, 21 October and the next Garden Fun Day on Tuesday, 24 October.

12 months on



You can keep up to date with activities and events on the JCU Cairns Community Garden webpage, the Community of Gardeners Facebook page or email sustainability@jcu.edu.au to receive regular ebulletins. The Townsville campus also supports a thriving community garden at the Rotary International College site.
