Mullumbimby Community Gardens

The Mullumbimby Community Garden is a place of vibrancy, abundance, cultural diversity, friendships, knowledge, sustainable practices and fun.

On Tuesdays after the communal lunch join us at Restoring the Flow empowering encounters 2pm, inside the Rotunda. These meetings support and encourage personal and community development, and contribute to the creation of a fairer society that regenerates the earth, and ourselves. Everyone is welcome.

Together, we have been growing organic fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers since August 2008 on our 5 acre site just a 500m walk from Mullumbimby CBD. We offer a diverse range programs, projects, workshops and activities available for all ages, abilities and interests.

Mullumbimby Community Garden welcomes you to visit. Our award winning facility open to the public during daylight hours seven days a week. You can join in – plant a seedling, water, pull a weed or just have a wander and take in the ambience of this gentle and calming space.

Workshops and Courses

Growing Fruit Trees In Small Backyards with Sharon Gibson
Discover how to grow your own luscious fruit in the smallest of backyards. There are many small fruit trees suited to growing in the suburbs including many that will fruit within two years. These include dwarf fruit trees which supply more fruit per metre than a standard tree, allowing more varieties of fruit to be grown in the same area.

Soil Basics For The New Gardener with Loretta Faulkner
Healthy soil is essential to maintaining healthy plants; it is alive with trillions of minute organisms which recycle and free up nutrients to drive plant growth. Get to know the basics of successful gardening by understanding your soil, what it is and learn new ways to improve it.

Propogation For Beginners with Loretta Faulkner
Do you want to learn how to add new plants to your garden and save money at the same time? This course will show you the basics of propagating seeds, taking cuttings and dividing herbaceous and soft wooded perennials. Feel the satisfaction of growing your own plants rather than buying, the joy of planting them in your garden and sharing with family and friends.

Biochar – Is Black The New Green? with Rob Crosby
Participate in a one day, hands-on, Magical Mystery Tour into the world of biochar. Understand biochar’s role in enhancing microbial soil life. Learn how to make it, how to test it, how to condition it and how to apply it in your own situation.

Restoring the Flow
Tuesdays 2pm after the community lunch we come together in a light-hearted, subtle, and interactive gathering. It is an opportunity to experience directly how giving space to awareness, role-play and non-verbal communication lead to insights and greater harmony between people and within the self.
