Yankalilla Community Garden
Our Community Garden promotes a Holistic approach to Sustainability, Wellbeing and Education.
It is not just about Growing Food. Our Volunteers share their knowledge and skills to help build a thriving community while providing an open space accessible to all. We’re cultivating connection, creativity, and circular systems that work with the Earth, not against it - to grow a more sustainable future.

🌀 What we do:
• Grow food organically using Permaculture Principles
• Compost everything we can
• Build zero-waste systems
• Reuse, repurpose & regenerate
• Respect individual perspectives – while working towards a shared Vision
• Enjoy morning tea with delightful home-made cakes
We aim to grow and create most of what we need on site or source locally, reducing the need for external inputs. Everything has a purpose — even weeds and end-of-life plants are turned into compost or natural ferments. Nothing is wasted. Everything teaches.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy the harvest—just take what you need, so there's enough to share.
🌻 What we hope for:
Our vibrant, resilient garden space that brings people together is the first of many within the district. This was always going to be a ‘pilot’ garden; to set up duplicable systems. Momentum is building in other townships and we hope to support new garden through their journey.
To offer regular educational and hands-on workshops to share our wisdoms.
We’re still growing — in more ways than one — and welcome anyone who shares our vision of a more healthy, joyful, and low-impact way of living.
‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’
✨ Whether you're local or just passing by online, we hope you'll follow along, visit us or join us and get inspired by what’s possible when community spirit takes root and blossoms.
If you are interested in Volunteering in the garden, or would like more information, email communitygarden@flec.com.au or pop into Fleurieu Environment Centre.
Our regular Gardening Sessions are the 1st Wednesday 9 – 11am and the 3rd Sunday 10am to 12 noon of each month.
Thank you for helping us grow a kinder, greener community 💚
