Produce Gardens
Come together to learn new skills and experience the satisfaction of growing fruits and vegetables in the tropics, without the 'food miles'.
Council supports residents to grow food in their suburbs through community gardens and pocket gardens.
Community Gardens
There are eight Community Gardens established across Cairns where you can volunteer your time.
- Bungalow Community Garden: 7 Kidston Street, Bungalow
- Manoora Community Garden: Lot 8 (cul-de-sac), Rollinia Close, Manoora
- Holloways Beach Community Garden: Raintrees Park, Oleander Street, Holloways Beach
- Stratford Community Garden: Kamerunga Rd, Stratford
- Marlin Coast Community Garden: 205 Reed Rd, Trinity Park
- James Cook University Cairns: McGregor Road, Smithfield
- Edmonton Community Garden: Walker Road, Edmonton
- Gordonvale Community Garden: Simmonds St, Gordonvale
Pocket Gardens
Pocket Gardens are smaller-scale gardens set up by residents in their neighbourhood. We have pocket gardens throughout the suburbs.
If you are interested in improving your neighbourhood open space let us know by completing a volunteer application.
