Millennium Fellowship Project: Griffith University Community Garden

An on-campus community garden to equip the next generation with the required skillset and ignite ambitious change. The Griffith University community garden will aid inbembedding sustainability into Griffith staff and students from an education viewpoint and from hands-on experience. Through gardening, learning and sharing knowledge students and staff will learn valuable skills, enjoy healthy, fresh, affordable produce and develop a connection with the food they consume and the environment they live in. Ultimately this will work towards creating healthier individuals and more sustainable and responsible communities. Similarly, the garden will provide the Griffith community with the option to participate in physical activity while encouraging positive well-being. In addition, the space has the potential to serve as an educational hub for further learning (i.e workshops etc.).
