Community Gardens

There are community gardens all over Wellington. They are fantastic places to connect with the local community while surrounding yourself with nature – and to learn more about gardens and growing.

If you need gardening advice or you’re interested in getting involved with a community garden, find your local one here.

Wellington City Council runs a Community Gardens Network that meets four times a year to exchange tips and allocate funding. If you want more information email communitysupport@wcc.govt.nz.
