Community Wellbeing Projects

A Mother Garden is a garden that helps give birth to new gardens through the propagation, growing and sharing of plants, seeds, skills and resources. Anyone can have a mother garden regardless of skill, time, or size of garden.   It is a project that aims to cultivate mutual aid and community resilience. We connect people to their communities, and facilitate access to a broad range of useful and interest plants. As such, we are also a network of groups, gardens and individual gardens that connect and share within and across communities.  Click on the Matrix, Map and Information file for further information.
