This garden is membership-based.
The garden was incorporated in 2014, and is entirely run by volunteers. It was established at its new location in 2022.
The three main aims are:
1. To develop an open space community fruit and vegetable garden for individual community members and community groups who want to engage in, and learn about, sustainable gardening practices.
2. To provide a meeting place for individual community members and groups to develop a community gardening identity.
3. To promote the Bellfield Community Garden within the Bellfield neighbourhood, and across the Banyule council area and neighbouring council areas, and to form strong community partnerships to enhance and influence the success of the garden.
Farm Raiser is a not-for-profit urban, organic vegetable farm run by five young farmers (Charlotte, Kirsty, Patrick, Caitlin and Eve) on land behind Waratah Special Development School in Bellfield. Whilst not certified, they follow organic principles and don't use any chemicals. Summer 2020/21 was their first season.
They have a farmgate stall on Fridays 10am-2pm and Saturdays 9am-midday, opposite 12 Perkins Avenue, Bellfield.
