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. 

Membership fees are as follows:

		1 year		3 years
Single		$30		$75
Concession		$11		$30
Family		$40		$100
Organisation		$60		$160

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.
