Scullin Community Garden

A welcoming community garden where you can grow fresh produce, meet people, share skills and help shape activities in your local community.

The Scullin Community Garden brings people together to grow fresh produce, learn from each other and enjoy spending time outdoors. 

The garden was established with support from the ACT Government’s Community Garden Grants Program to help older people stay active, build social connections and take part in meaningful activities. Participants can also share the produce grown, supporting healthy eating and helping reduce food costs. 

As the garden grows, we’re inviting people of all ages from Scullin and surrounding suburbs to get involved and help create a welcoming, active and sustainable community space.

 

Where to find the garden 

The Scullin Community Garden is located at Humpy Hall, 17 Frewin Place, Scullin ACT.


Get involved 

You can contribute in a way that suits your interests, skills and availability. You might: 

  • help plant, water and maintain the garden  
  • share your gardening or sustainability knowledge
  • run a workshop or activity
  • volunteer at a community event
  • contribute plants, seeds, tools or other resources
  • connect the garden with local residents, groups or organisations
  • share your ideas and help shape the garden’s future.

You don’t need gardening experience to take part. Whether you have an hour to spare, an idea to contribute or a skill to share, we’d love to hear from you. 


Why get involved? 

Taking part in the garden can help you: 

  • meet people and build local connections
  • learn and share practical skills
  • enjoy fresh air and physical activity
  • support older people to stay active and connected
  • grow and share fresh produce
  • contribute to a greener and more connected community.

How you can help right now

We’re looking for two or three volunteers who can play a regular role in helping us get the garden established and activities underway. 

These volunteers will need to complete the CRCS volunteer onboarding process and be available to contribute consistently. You don’t need to be an experienced gardener, we’re looking for reliable people who are keen to contribute, share ideas and help the garden grow into an active community space.
