ANMS COMMUNITY GARDEN
ANMS commenced a Community Garden project in August 2016 which has seen the development of a garden next to its office in Davoren park. The garden is now well-established with a committed group of members who are continually working to improve it and planting different crops. We have a range of seasonal crops growing using natural green compost.
​
There are a mix of individuals from surrounding communities that are currently participating in the garden work. New members are welcome. We have members with a wide range of gardening abilities and their contributions are very important.
​
If you want to participate or be involved, please contact us.
