The Mackay Community Garden Inc. was established for the purposes of demonstration, promotion and education of sustainable human settlements based on Permaculture principles. The garden that was lovingly built in Mackay brings together many Permaculture strategies and demonstrates sustainable food growing methods and plant choices which best suit our tropical region.
The Community Garden is also a creative space to meet like-minded members of the community for sharing community building activities and ideas amd for pondering the notions of the global movement that is encouraging the public to think and act at the local level. That movement is Transition Towns.
