 Demonstration Verge Vegetable Garden Network

The Demonstration Verge Vegetable Garden Network Project was started in 2025 with assistance from the ACT Government under the ACT Community Garden Grants Program and Ainslie Urban Farm.

The initial community vegetable gardens were established on 5 verges in Belconnen, drawing on local permaculture, food self-sufficiency experts and community resources.  These gardens are cared for by a group of community volunteers with support from Belconnen SEE Change. If you would like to get involved, please speak to the verge owner at your local community garden or contact Belconnen@seechange.org.au.  

Linked to this page you will find information on how to create your own Verge Garden.
