Policies and practices

SAMPLE DOCUMENTS

Community gardeners adopt policies and guidelines to make gardening an enjoyable experience and to manage their garden sites effectively.

It is best to have only as many policies as is necessary. They should be stated simply in community garden documents and made clear to new gardeners.

Examples of some community gardens documents:

• Aims and guidelines - Randwick Community Organic Garden
• Guidelines - Waterloo Community Garden
• Soil analysis - Waterloo Community Garden
• Goals & objectives - Tasmanian Community Garden Network
• Aims & objectives - Cultivating Community, Victoria
• Policy on community gardens - Auckland City Council, New Zealand
• Management plan - Torquay and Juc Juc Community Garden, Victoria
• The Good Practice Guide for Community Gardens- Cultivating Community's manual for starting and managing community gadrens in Victoria.
