The Kiama Community Garden was born 14 years ago through a community coming together to plan and manage a neighbourhood garden. 

In October 2010, the first plantings were made, and the original plan was laid out for the garden which continues today.

The garden offers communal space where people can grow their own fruits, vegetables and herbs. The garden aims to promote Sustainable living by encouraging organic and sustainable gardening practices. It also provides a space for social interaction. The garden has successfully built a strong sense of community by bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds. The educational programmes offer workshops and lectures on gardening skills, sustainability and healthy living. 

The community garden does not have individually managed beds, instead, the garden is looked after as a whole, meaning everyone pitches in to care for the plantings. 

Turn up on Saturday and Wednesday mornings and Monday afternoons and you will find yourself doing a variety of tasks; watering, planting, weeding, mulching, pruning and of course the ubiquitous weeding.

All members share the work and share the fruits of their labour. 

The Kiama Community Garden is located in Havilah Place, opposite the Kiama Leisure Centre.
