Deadline: 13-Oct-21
The Government of Western Australia is inviting applications for the 2021-22 Community Gardens Grants Program to provide an opportunity for people to come together and develop a greater understanding between neighbours and community members.
Grants provided through this program support the establishment and development of sustainable, edible community gardens in Western Australian to enable community members to:
- participate more actively in community life;
- develop and implement skills; and
- give back to the community.
Getting involved in local community garden projects can help people to improve community connections, develop new skills and share physical, social and mutual benefits of growing edible produce.
What is covered by the grant?
- garden feasibility, planning and design;
- development of garden policies and manuals;
- evaluation of an existing garden and its programs;
- training, workshops and other garden-related events held at the community garden;
- capacity building for gardenvolunteers;
- engagement strategies and initiatives to generate community interest and participation;
- advertising, promotion and signage of the garden and related activities;
- consumable garden items, such as plants, seedlings, fertiliser, etc.; and
- infrastructure and minor capital equipment

Organisations can request up to $10,000 per project.
Eligibility Criteria
- incorporated not-for-profit community organisations;
