South Melbourne Sustainability Group

The South Melbourne Sustainability Group is a community-driven initiative focused on promoting sustainable living and environmental stewardship through local engagement. The group actively manages and maintains several community gardens across South Melbourne and Port Melbourne, including Foundry Park, HH Skinner Reserve Pop-Up, Lyell Iffla Reserve, and Centenary Reserve Community Gardens. They organize regular working bees where volunteers come together to care for the gardens, practice bokashi composting, and share knowledge about sustainable growing practices. These activities not only foster environmental awareness but also strengthen community bonds by encouraging hands-on participation and social connection. The group provides a welcoming environment for those interested in community gardening, sustainability education, and reducing their environmental impact locally. It is a valuable platform for residents to engage with nature, learn about eco-friendly gardening, and contribute meaningfully to their neighborhood’s green spaces. The South Melbourne Sustainability Group supports sustainable living through practical action and community collaboration in the inner Melbourne area.
