As a Christian community we commit ourselves to exploring and engaging in issues of environmental sustainability and stewardship in our inner urban community.
The Simply Living Community Garden started in 2008. Located in the church grounds at Port Melbourne, the garden is open 24/7. The garden includes raised vegies beds, herbs, fruit trees, wildflower garden, community composting and a seed exchange.
