Garden growing strong thanks to local businesses

Mel Green, Racheal Pascoe and Manda Boyd grabbed a bunch of $125 sponsors for Nambour Grown with the nearly-completed sponsors list. The remaining spots were filled fast.

Our town’s community spirit was out for all to see at the Nambour Chamber of Commerce Coffee Catch up this week. 

The Nambour Grown community garden is run by a terrific group of local gardening people who have the know-how but are a short of funds.

“Feeling a little humble, with hat in hand, we headed to the Nambour Chamber of Commerce’s Coffee Catchup (November 6) to tell everyone about the value of our community garden and invite local businesses to invest in our garden by sponsoring a garden bed for 2025,” said club president Racheal Pascoe.

“Well, the idea was a sell out! We now have all garden beds sponsored thanks to the  local businesses and their wonderful generosity. Our 2025 growing season is looking like it will be our best year yet.

“We are all about greening up Nambour, growing food, sharing knowledge, learning from each other and running workshops in our shared green space. In time we aim to supply local community groups who support those in need, with our surplus fruit and vegetables.”

If you would like to be involved,  follow Nambour Grown on Facebook. “We meet once a fortnight on a Sunday afternoon 3-5pm in the garden to work together.”

The Nambour Grown Community Gardens are located in the Showgrounds from Coronation Avenue and turn left as you come through the gates, the gardens are on the left up the hill.
