LENAH VALLEY COMMUNITY GARDEN
Lenah Valley Community Garden is located at 42 Creek Road Lenah
Valley, near the creek and park lands, and is managed by
Sustainable Living Tasmania. It is divided into plots which are leased to
participants for the cost of their Sustainable Living Tasmania membership.
This
garden is full of productive beds and is next to the tracks which are used by
dog walkers, exercisers and families. On the hill across the creek there is
even an old farmhouse and paddock full of sheep. It seems like a busy garden
and there are often several people working in the space. It is fenced off and
accessed by a combination guarded padlock.

This membership also includes a subscription to Linkup newsletter, a 10% discount for
their bookshop and membership of the Environment Resource Centre. I had a plot
in this space when I lived in an apartment and found it was primarily people
just doing their own thing without any specific community focus around the
garden. This is fantastic if you are looking to simply have a space to grow your own food and enjoy some peace in the outdoors but not so much if your desire is for something more social.
Sustainable Living Tasmania also runs a garden in Nubeena
Crescent, Taroona which I am yet to visit.
