Housing Choices Australia Annual Report 2018

Community gardenshelpour residents thrive.

We believe community gardens are essential to building a sense of belonging within a community housing development. Building and maintaining a community garden encourages residents to take pride in their community and helps to create real neighbourhoods.

There is also an environment centre, a social enterprise cafe and a bike repair facility at the same site. Not only do Housing Choices residents get all the amazing health and wellbeing benefits of participating in a community garden, they are also involved in training workshops, environmental activities, volunteering, movie nights and social activities.

Just one example is our Common Ground community garden at the The Joinery.

Located in Adelaide's CBD the garden boasts both edible and ornamental plants, chickens and a beehive.
