Yea Community Garden
Yea Community Garden welcomes anyone who wants to be part of growing food and learning more about how to. Produce from the garden goes to volunteers, other food programs and projects in Yea (Yea Community Meal, The Community Food Table, Emergency Relief, etc) and anyone who passes and would like some.

Yea Community Garden is located out from of the Community House (15 The Semi Circle Yea) 

GARDEN WORKING BEE—
Kids welcome! A chance to learn whilst doing. Come and get involved in the garden working bees– always fun, and another great way to learn gardening techniques more informally.Contact the house to find out our next working Bee date.   A lovely group of people working the Community Garden together to grow food for the community.

COMPOSTING PROJECT—
Volunteers and students from Yea High School VCAL program collect food and garden scraps each week from businesses and residences in our wonderful cargo bike - the ‘Green Caterpillar’ - and put them through the hot compost and worm farm systems at the Community Garden to create wonderful compost for the Community Garden and local school gardens. Come and help with the collection - it's fun and you get to ride the cargo bike. Any businesses or local households who are interested in contributing their food scraps or any other materials please contact the house.

Huge thanks to the Hamer Sprout Fund who have loyally supported this project since it’s beginning in 2014.  

YEA COMMUNITY FOOD TABLE  The Yea Community Food Table has been running for some years with great response! The table is a free (or by donation/ swap) produce stand, in the foyer of the Yea Council Library/ Community House each Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday (and most other days too). 
It is supported by local school gardens, Yea Food Crew volunteers and many local gardeners. People can pay as little or as much as they can afford, and are encouraged to bring in excesses from their own gardens to donate to the Table, and to think about planting a little extra to share. Bring excess produce to Yea Community House or MannaFest Cafe to donate - or call the House if you need help picking/ bringing donations in.
Volunteers Needed—if you can spare 1/2 hour in the morning or afternoon to set up or pack up we can open the table on more days—contact the House for more info.
