About the Community Garden
The Woodvale community garden was created c.2017 with help from the council and Urban Growth. It is now managed by the TRA and the individual residents that have guardianship of a plot. Plots are available to all residents but those in flats are prioritised, as houses have access to both front and back gardens in which to grow food. There is no limit to how long a resident can keep a plot but it has to be used and cared for otherwise it will be reallocated to someone on the waiting list. The TRA recently secured funding to rebuild the decaying beds and work is currently underway. See the blog post here
