A little patch of green where people, plants and possibility grow together.
Tucked behind the Tugun Community Centre is Southern Beaches Community Garden, a place where seeds are planted, knowledge is shared and friendships grow.
We are a volunteer-run community garden where people come together to grow food, connect with nature and learn from each other.
Whether you are an experienced gardener or you have never planted a seed before, everyone is welcome.
Come wander. Come learn. Come grow.
Southern Beaches Community Garden has grown with the support of local organisations, businesses and community partners. We're grateful to everyone who has helped our garden flourish.

Growing Together: in their words
Tugun Community Bank® Branch is a proud supporter of Southern Beaches Community Garden and has provided financial assistance over the last 10 years to help with the development of the community garden. We have watched the garden grow and become an important asset to our community where locals young and old can enjoy and develop a love of gardening. It has been a pleasure working with the committee who are always finding ways to give back to our community by participating in events, providing workshops and offering support to other local groups.

Members from the Southern Beaches Community Garden have attended Thrower House on many occasions and have developed relationships with our youth whilst engaging with them through sharing their skills in various activities. The youth are always very responsive to the workshops in credit to the interaction and engagement received from the SBCG volunteers. Our youth are left with a rewarding experience and the people from the SBCG always leave a positive energy behind when they leave.

As part of the Lifeskills Program at the Blair Athol Homeless Shelter located in Bilinga, QLD, the residents are given the opportunity to link in with the Southern Beaches Community Garden to connect with others and learn methods of sustainable agriculture. The atmosphere at the gardens promotes a healthy lifestyle. Our residents are given the opportunity to learn the techniques of cultivating organically grown produce that they can take away to cook up a healthy meal for themselves. The natural calming environment of the community gardens along with the fresh air and sunshine encourages the social aspect fostering a sense of community connectedness and friendships.
