Learn MoreAs a collective organisation supporting community gardens and individuals, we are working together to promote and strengthen community garden initiatives in Canterbury. Currently the CCGA supports and engages with over 55 community gardens, food forests and edible spaces across the region.
We're on a mission to strengthen and nurture existing community gardens and support new initiatives, in order to build stronger more engaged communities, whilst fostering human connection and environmental diversity.
Our vision is to enrich the lives of those in our communities and contribute to the development of healthy, local food production for generations to come.
At the Canterbury Community Gardens Association, we're all about growing, connecting and sharing skills, all while enjoying each others company.
Errol has been a devoted volunteer at the Lincoln Envirotown Community Garden for several years now. His wife Ruth plays a key role as the garden coordinator.
Each week, Errol joins a group of volunteers to help plant, harvest, and maintain the crops in the garden, located behind an old maternity hospital near the centre of Lincoln.
Errol can often be found working in the garden, doing anything from pruning and planting and turning compost through to weeding and putting the kettle on for a cuppa.
Every garden needs an Errol.
Our directory contains key details about each community garden in the Canterbury area. Use the directory to learn more about each garden and find one that aligns with your interests and availability.
Once you've identified a community garden that you'd like to volunteer with, the next step is to contact the key person associated with the garden on the listing.
Volunteer today and start making a difference in your community. You'll gain opportunities to learn valuable skills and connect with like-minded individuals.
