This week’s session of the Milkwood part-time permaculture course is on community gardens. Run by Russ Grayson, a veteran of permaculture and community gardens, he pointed us to a pile of useful resources:

• Community Garden Policy (City of Sydney; PDF)
• Community Gardens – A Policy Direction (Marrickville Council; PDF)
• Community gardens —  policy directions (Kogarah Council; PDF)
• Gardeners guidebook (Carss Park Community Garden; PDF)
• Community gardening fact sheets (Australian City Farms & Community Gardens Network)
