Please note: weekly registration is essential in order to follow COVID-19 health and safety guidelines. Masks and hand sanitiser will be provided. Please bring your own gardening gloves.

The garden is a collaboration between the SRC Environment Collective, SRC Penrith Campus Rep, the SDG Students Program, and Farm It Forward. Our aim with this garden is to build community and cultural connections, provide up-skilling opportunities, facilitate food security, demonstrate how straightforward it is to make positive climate impacts toward sustainability and social justice, as well as educate people on the benefits to our mental and physical health and well-being which comes through immersion in thriving ecosystems.

'The Grove' is an ongoing student-led initiative and we will always welcome volunteers, whether just for your own enjoyment, or to achieve the certificates of recognition and completion we are offering for participation and workshop attendance. You are welcome to come and do as little or as much as you like.

We are fiercely passionate about and committed to our right to live in a healthy environment – social and economic included, and about Nature's right to flourish and be recognised as inherently valuable.
