Community Gardens in Moonta & Wallaroo

Copper Coast Council is seeking community feedback on a proposal for Community Gardens to be created in Moonta and Wallaroo.

A community garden is a plot of land used for growing a communal public garden, where people garden together. There are wide ranging benefits of community gardens for nutrition, health and community social interaction, which extend across all age groups, from young children to the elderly.
