Welcome to Growing Communities
Growing Communities promotes sustainability education and healthy living through the establishment of productive gardens in Queensland communities and schools.
Current News
We are currently working at Woodlinks State School
(Collingwood Pk, Ipswich) and Lawnton State School (Lawnton)
setting up food production and associated sustainable systems by utilising a whole school approach to sustainability.
While both schools are very different from each other - situated at opposite ends of town, one being an old school, the
other a brand new one - both are in the quest for developing local food production systems, developing waste recycling
and energy efficient systems. Stay tuned for updates on how these projects unfold as the year goes by.
If you live in Ipswich also keep an eye on this site as shortly we'll be announcing a series of community workshops, part of our sustainability program to be delivered in the city.
The development of this website was made possible through funding received from the Queensland Government Gambling Community Benefit Fund.
