THREE Geelong-based community gardens will receive important rejuvenations thanks to the City of Greater Geelong’s latest round of Community Infrastructure Grants.<\/p>\n

The city will provide more than $200,000 to at least three community gardens this year, Grovedale Community garden, Chilwell Community Garden, and Murnong Community Garden.<\/p>\n

“The city understands the invaluable role these gardens play in enriching neighbourhoods and strengthening community bonds,” the city stated.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our support for community gardens through our 2023-24 Community Infrastructure Grants program.”<\/p>\n

Grovedale Community Garden Inc. in Heyers Road will receive $53,600 to revitalise its infrastructure, including the replacement of an old shed and addition of extra tool storage.<\/p>\n

Chilwell Community Garden Inc in Claremont Park, Newtown has been approved for a grant of $69,300 to enhance their facilities.<\/p>\n

The garden will receive essential upgrades such as water connection, fence construction, and the installation of a shed with a roof and veranda.<\/p>\n

Murnong Community Garden Inc in North Geelong will receive $94,000 to invest in new infrastructure, which will enable the garden to expand and better serve the needs of the community.<\/p>\n

“Community gardens offer a plethora of benefits to individuals and neighbourhoods alike,” the city stated,<\/p>\n

“They serve as gathering places where people from diverse backgrounds come together to cultivate friendships, learn new skills, and share knowledge.<\/p>\n

“Additionally, these green spaces provide opportunities for individuals to grow their own nutritious produce, promoting healthier lifestyles and food security within communities.”<\/p>\n
