On Jan 11 [2012] I visited the Forster community gardens while staying in the area to the north of Sydney on the mid NSW coast. They are in a small park like gardening area next to the local neighbourhood and tourist information centre on the lake or river side of the central city area.<\/p>\n
They seem well set up with mainly free standing growing containers all with their own watering and drip systems and activity areas. This is a smart and interesting design for use in a public area like this. There is a main thoroughfare path running through the area and there was a constant stream of people wandering or cycling through while I was there.<\/p>\n
The weather on the coast there is edging into sub-tropical and it showed with some very nice growth on some of the plants I would not even attempt to grow in my cold temperate region.<\/p>\n
I was also mildly impressed by their ‘not ready for harvest’ and ‘ready for harvest’ signs which they were using.<\/p>\n
