Port Kembla community garden in the Weekender

The Port Kembla community garden was featured in the Illawarra Mercury's Weekender on Saturday April 2, 2011. Check out some images from the cover here.
Dan Deighton, pictured at bottom of photo, started the garden in 1995 and it has grown into an amazing and inspiring community project. Using permaculture principles, the garden teaches sustainability. But it's also about social inclusion and engagment with the community.
Dan and the folks pictured here helped Socialist Alliance organise our 2010 Green Left Weekly solidarity dinner, held in the Port Kembla community centre. Socialist Alliance member Jess Moore is quite active at the garden (she's pictured third from right).
