  Lincoln Community Garden    
       
  Lincoln is about to become part of a growing network of communities in New Zealand with its own community garden. The Lincoln Community Garden is an undertaking of the Lincoln Envirotown Trust. The Lincoln Community Sustainability Action Plan, developed by our community in 2007, included the establishment of a community garden in Lincoln, and work has been going on behind the scenes for some time.

Recently the Trust employed a Community Garden Coordinator, Cello Robertson, and has secured a site for the gardens in the Lincoln Maternity Hospital grounds. We are very grateful to the CDHB for allowing us to use this site for the benefit of the community and to the Selwyn District Council for their support.

 
 


Our aims are to:

Grow and share food cooperatively as a community.

Provide recreation, therapy and educational opportunities for local people as well as open space to reconnect with the environment.

Encourage people to become enthusiastic about growing their own food, whether in the community garden or their own garden.

You don’t need to know any thing about gardening to be involved! We are here to help.
