Are you a keen gardener looking for a garden? Pine Rivers Neighbourhood Centre has produced a directory for volunteers looking for volunteering opportunities in the Moreton Bay Council area. Volunteering for environmental projects, including community gardens, is one of the areas highlighted in the guide.
The guide can be downloaded from the Pine Rivers Neighbourhood Centre website at www.prnc.org.au, but a summary is given here.
Several organisations have ongoing garden, nursery and environmental projects. They include:
- Bribie Island Environmental Protection Association
- Bushcare
- Caboolture Regional Environmental Centre (CREEC)
- Friends of CREEC
- Friends of Redcliffe Botanic Gardens
- Grow, Cook, Eat - Kurwongba
- Kumbartcho Sanctuary
- Osprey House
- Pine Rivers Catchment Association
Not listed, but also worth approaching are:
- Redcliffe Community Association Garden
- Sandgate PCYC community garden
It is always worth checking with local churches and schools as well, as they are often contemplating gardens, but need volunteers to get started.
You may also like to view the section of our website, called "Get Involved". This has a link to community gardens in the Moreton Bay Council area.
Are you a community garden, a garden nursery or an environmental group looking for volunteers? If so, then this is the place for you. You can register your details in the "Become Involved" section of this website, and we will write a post about it, then highlight it on the site. We will also be doing a lot of promotion of the website to attract interested gardeners to view it. We want as many people gardening in the Moreton Bay Council area as possible! So please send us your details and become involved!
