Kitchen gardeners will applaud the ACT government's Community Garden Grants program which continues to provide funding for local projects that can contribute to developing a Capital Food and Fibre strategy. Environment Minister Rebecca Vassarotti has announced the nine local projects that will receive grants, totalling $41,145.
The recipients met at Charnwood Community Garden with convenor Teresa Rose where a 2020 garden grant had provided a weather shelter refuge. This year Charnwood will receive funding for raised garden beds with easy access and adjustable heights for less-able-bodied people to grow organic food.
