The Forster Community Garden provides an inclusive space for the wider community. A motivated and committed team of volunteers put their blood, sweat and tears into making the Garden a success. We enjoy the generous support from MidCoast Council and Bunnings Warehouse to keep our community activity going.
The Forster Community Garden is currently undergoing redevelopment. Forster Neighbourhood Centre and MidCoast Council are working together to secure funding to re-design the space to be an important community asset for all residents of the Great Lakes……..watch this space!
