Uniting Earthweb

In the first half of 2011, a series of three ecumenical tours took place to community gardens either based at churches or set up by Christians.  The tours were organised by the Uniting Earthweb Group.  55 people took part, not including those who hosted visits. 

14 community gardens in NSW and the ACT were visited (follow the hyperlinks for websites and contact details.  If you would like to get in touch with a garden with no website/contact details available online, get in touch with Uniting Earthweb):
