The Terrigal Uniting Permaculture Patch (TUPP) was set up almost 12 months ago and is looking for new members.
The garden is run by volunteers and aims to use permaculture principles to grow edible produce for sharing.
In the short time it has been operating members have established some raised vegetable beds, a huge mound, the beginnings of a food forest and a worm farm.
“Community gardens are a great space for connecting with others and learning valuable food production skills,” co-ordinator Carol Musgrave said.
“There are activities for people of all ages and levels of physical ability.
“Over summer watering the garden has been a crucial contribution from those less able to undertake more manual activity.
“There are also administrative roles.
“As we develop our knowledge and experience we plan to run programs on the various aspects of permaculture gardening, ways of using the produce and to invite other groups in to develop and share their skills.
“It’s a community project and it’s great to see participants develop confidence in working in a garden.
“Over summer we harvested spinach, tomatoes, beans, carrots, zucchinis, various herbs and some lovely Futsu pumpkins.
“Most of these were offered for donation at the Terrigal Uniting Church Repair Café held on the last Saturday of each month.
“We are now preparing for Autumn/Winter sowing on March 23.”
The Terrigal Uniting Permaculture Patch is sponsored by the Terrigal Uniting Church.
Community gardening days are Wednesday and Saturday from 9-11am.
