Seaford Food Forest Open Garden

Every Friday 12 – 3pm

Every Sunday 10 – 2pm

The Seaford Food Forest Community Garden is a community-driven project to establish a thriving community garden and food forest in the heart of the suburb. The food forest will extend across public areas, the pre-school and the play group, thus forming a collaborative enterprise between the pre-school staff and students, the play group parents and children and the interested members of the general public. A food forest mixes annual and perennial food producing plants with other plants to attract insects and create a self-sustaining ecosystem called guilds, which require no chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. Food forest are a way of working with nature to create a highly efficient and productive ecosystem on either a small or large scale. Unlike regular community gardens, where each person has their own plot, food forests are a single garden created and cared for as a collaborative activity. The Seaford Food Forest will contain both individual plots combined with a community food forest. As you walk around the garden, you are treated to a range of colours, aromas and tastes — if you choose to sample anything on the way. The food forest will provide fruit and vegetables to share, as well as a place to learn and connect. Built for the community, by the community.
