Current Projects
Oaklands Street Community Gardens Inc All Abilities Access Garden Beds Project
Commencing in September 2022, the All Abilities Access Garden Beds Project was created to make food gardening accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and mobility levels. Members can comfortably participate in growing fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, and flowers in an inclusive and welcoming environment.
These accessible garden beds help remove physical barriers to gardening, enabling people who use wheelchairs, have limited mobility, or find traditional garden beds difficult to access to enjoy the many benefits of growing their own food. The project encourages healthy eating, physical activity, social connection, and lifelong learning, while fostering a sense of belonging and community pride.
By bringing people together to grow fresh produce, share knowledge, and connect with nature, the All Abilities Access Garden Beds Project strengthens community wellbeing and supports sustainable local food production for everyone.
Coffee Composting
This project aimed to use spent coffee grounds provided by local cafes for garden compost. As compost, the grounds can be recycled into a valuable soil amendment to enable the growth of fresh fruit and vegetables. The success of this project relied on volunteers regularly seeking out and picking up spent coffee beans from our local cafes.
We are currently seeking or partner with a local cafe or van Email admin@oscg.org.au
We are also seeking a cafe or fruit/veg shop to utilise the fruit and veg waste for compost creation
