Growing food, connection & opportunity
We work alongside communities to grow food, foster connection, and create real education and employment opportunities for people facing social, economic, and nutritional barriers.
What We Do
Creating pathways through food, gardens and community
Cultivating Community supports people facing food insecurity, social isolation, and barriers to employment. Through gardens, education, and paid horticulture work, we grow food, build connection, and create real pathways to meaningful employment.

How we work
Designed with community, not just for it
We design our services with the people who use them. By combining lived experience, evidence and practical delivery, we ensure our programs are effective, sustainable and deliver meaningful outcomes for individuals and communities.
