We are a registered Not-for-Profit health promotion charity in Toowoomba, Queensland. We believe all people should have access to fresh healthy produce and the knowledge to use it to nourish themselves and their families. We establish free community gardens, provide education sessions and cooking classes to increase the consumption of nutritious foods to reduce risk factors for serious health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. Sadly, in 2016, 31% of our Toowoomba population were in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged category nationally, putting them at the greatest risk of lifestyle-related diseases. We are attempting to reduce the barriers that stop people from being able to access fresh foods and make healthy food choices, as well as giving them the knowledge and skills on how to use the produce. Our dream is for our gardens to be beautiful and productive, and our programs welcoming, supportive and inclusive.
