We love to connect with other passionate gardeners, and people interested in sustainable gardening, fruit trees, bush tucker, real food etc....and we are all about growing community spirit.

🌱 Free Seed Starting Workshop 🌱

Would you like to learn how to grow plants from seed but aren't sure where to start?

Saturday, 18 July, Sunbury Community Garden will be running a relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop from 1:15 pm to 2:00 pm, just before our community working bee (2:00 pm – 4:00 pm).

This is completely optional—come along if you're interested, or simply join us later for the working bee.

To make the session as practical as possible, feel free to bring:
🌿 Some seeds you'd like to grow.
🪴 A container you'd like to use to start your seeds.
🌱 Something you think would make a good seed-raising mix (potting mix, compost, coco coir, garden soil—or anything else you're curious about!).

The workshop is all about keeping things simple. You don't need expensive equipment or special products to grow from seed. We'll look at what everyone brings, discuss what works (and why), what doesn't, and the basic principles that give seeds the best chance of success.

If you don't have anything to bring, that's absolutely fine too—come along, ask questions, and join in. Everyone is welcome, whether you've never grown a seed before or have a little experience and would like to learn more.

Hope to see you there! 🌱😊

On Monday 9th March Sunbury Community Garden participated in the Sunbury Edible Garden Trail. We wer only open for two hours as we weren't sure what to expect and what we could support.
In the first hour over forty people descended on the garden in a constant stream. We attempted to show all these people all the differnernt aspects and programs we run at the garden. It was crazy, bloody hard work, exhausting, exhilerating, belief building, crazy again, energising meeting some many passionate gardeners.
We had a lot less in the second hour but we had two new gardeners through the program and a really good exsposure of the garden to the local community.
If you asked me at the end of the first hour - would you do it again the answer would have been no way but at the end of the second hour the answer would be hell yeah, bring it on again, soon.

Some people call me Tony have a chat.
Some people are less kind. So what let them be less kind cos Id rather just have a chat about gardening, seek and offer suggestions, work on building a community garden and orchard and a place to share produce, knowledge and more.
Frankly I hate Facebook and most social media as its a rabbit hole with no social contact. Im involved with a community garden as i believe in building communities, connecting with people not profiles. My favorite film is "Field of Dreams" but i dont want to build a field of dreams for retired baseball players, i want to be part of building the best community garden, not in Sunbury, not in Victoria, or Australia but the whole dammn Southern Hemisphere.

Join me in this quest.

Weve had a great response from our call out for new gardeners.

Weve a a good number of new gardeners join taking up garden plots to grow their own vegies and herbs..

Weve had lots of interest from others but while theyve demonstrated a high level of interest they have not completed the process of joining yet.

There are still plots available and possibly some becoming vacant.

Even if you cant get a plot in the short term we have options and other programs. We have a large communal plot that we can possibily subdivide short term.

We have an orchard of over fifty fruit trees mostly heritage varieties. This years the pears are in abundance and the apples look to follow likewise. We are seeking people interested in helping us this year to maintain the orchard and next year to expand the orchard and plant an extensive range of new trees etc next year.
