Street Harvest
Imagine a Cambridge where food grows on every surburban corner.
A town where we connect with each other through the communal growing of produce and composting.
A community where seasonal fruit, vegetables and herbs are abundant and free for us all to share.
The Street Harvest project...
Street Harvest is a grassroots project turning roadside berms and shared spaces into thriving edible gardens with in-ground worm farms. It’s all about connecting communities, growing food sustainably, supporting local food resilience and reducing waste.
We work closely with Waipā District Council and passionate Cambridge locals to make things happen. The project has been made possible thanks to generous support from the Waipā District Council Community Waste Minimisation Fund and local businesses like our friends at Greenscapes Landscaping and Building Supplies.
