There are community gardens all over Wellington. They are fantastic places to connect with the local community while surrounding yourself with nature – and to learn more about gardens and growing.
Get involved
If you need gardening advice or you’re interested in getting involved with a community garden, use the map or the list below to find your local one.
We run a Community Gardens Network that meets four times a year to exchange tips and allocate funding. If you want more information email communitysupport@wcc.govt.nz.
