Richmond Community Gardens

We are a pioneer organisation leading the charge in food resilience, ecological restoration and community engagement in the Red Zone.

The Richmond Community Garden came together to re-establish the pre-earthquake vegetable garden next to Avebury house.

However, with a dedicated group of volunteers the garden quickly became established and we set our sites on 2 acres of red-zone land.

We want to show how this space can become a permanent and important part of the Richmond community, we intend to grow enough food to share, set up workshops on gardening and food preservation for people to attend and learn and we will create a natural playground to compliment the paddling pool and existing playground for families to hang out and socialize.
