I called in to see the\u00a0Randwick community organic garden<\/a>\u00a0on 19 Jan to see what they were doing with their space.<\/p>\n

They are funded by the\u00a0Randwick City Council<\/a>\u00a0and the garden is organised along the lines of a structured Council garden space.\u00a0The area is surrounded by a large storm wire fence and the gates are locked to casual visitors.<\/p>\n

I could only get in for a few minutes as someone was going in to water their plants and let me wander for 5 minutes before they had to leave.<\/p>\n

They have a small enclosure for chickens, a large water tank and a small building and covered area. It is all very compact and is a mixture apparently of single personal plots with a few communal planting areas – although this was hard to tell by what was growing in the limited time I had to look around.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
