These are set up to give people an opportunity to learn appreciate organic food. There are groups everywhere, who work together to grow fruit and vegetables and other organic plants. One such groups vision is 'to help create a sense of community through encouraging and promoting the growing and sharing of organic food."
It reminds me that as a child we grew all sorts of fruit and vegetables in our own back garden in Adelaide. Organic? Probably my parents used some simple chemicals but post war there was not the plethora of bottles of this and that to attack the myriad of bugs and diseases that can attack one's crops.
I still like to grow things but as a house sitter I get very little opportunity though I do cart with me some herbs, some bamboo, and a fig tree in a pot which this year produced just two figs.
I have learned that the community gardens are enthusiastic about bamboo, and often have workshops regarding some aspect of it. Northey Street City Farm has a number of workshops on featuring bamboo in the next few days. You can source information about them here. I remember when Northey Street was full of houses on both sides of the road, and with heavy rain the area flooded. Eventually the houses were removed from the area, and later on the community garden was created.
Our local community garden is Wynnum Manly Community Gardens Group, Inc and their website is here.
Again supporting and keeping in touch with these organisation can help you find out more about growing bamboo and other sustainable foods.
