Wells Street Community Garden Guidelines

The Camdenville Paddock Community Garden welcomes local residents interested in fostering a sustainable urban environment by growing and harvesting their own food. 

The garden exists for the good of the community. We ask all Camdenville Paddock gardeners to share responsibility for maintaining the garden for the health and safety of our neighbourhood.  And for the enjoyment of all, we ask our gardeners to keep in mind the guidelines below.

• We maintain a neat and orderly garden, and we build an attractive and creative environment that is appealing to other residents of the community. We mow our lawns and our garden beds are lovingly tended. 
• We manage good relationships with our neighbours, other gardeners and the organisations that generously support us.
• We keep our noise within the garden at a level that does not disturb our neighbours.
• We do not discriminate against one another due to differences in race, culture or sexuality.
• Our decision-making is democratic, inclusive and transparent.
• We make sure that any water leaving the garden is not contaminated by sediment, fertiliser, manure or excessive organic matter that might pollute our precious waterways.
• We maintain our composting and farming systems in a healthy condition so they do not attract vermin or produce unpleasant odours.
• We look after our rainwater harvesting systems to ensure our water is of a high quality.
• We have an inviting garden and we welcome visitors.
