We applied to the State Government’s Community Food Security grants program to fund Eat Grow Garden Food Hub project… and we were successful!! This project will build an environmentally sustainable, small, relocatable food growing hubs on temporary sites around Melton, creating a multi-site urban farm growing food for Food Relief organisations. More information is on our website, and stay tuned for updates as this project progresses!

This is part of our food relief grants program, helping community organisations deliver food relief to those who need it most.
Thank you to Jono & We Love Aintree for all that you do 🥦🍎🥑🍆🌽🥬

We’ve got our annual Aintree Reserve parkrun collaboration and this year we are planting 750 wildflowers and grasses in an avenue on the “Up the Guts” Strava Segment of the parkrun course! This is happening THIS SATURDAY immediately after parkrun from 8.30am. Hope to see you there!

Did anyone else run their slowest ever Aintree Reserve parkrun time on Saturday morning?? If you did, it was likely because you were an absolute legend picking up rubbish for Clean Up Australia while you were jogging! And the 139 of you that came along to parkrun on Saturday morning have made a massive difference!

Our founder Jono Ingram (aka Max Gawn Runs) was delighted to see the number of people who ran to the turn around cone and then stopped for 5-10mins and helped us clean up along the wetland. This amazing effort meant that the disaster zone along that embankment is COMPLETELY CLEAN now thanks to all these incredible people!

A reminder about harvesting etiquette and also an update on wha you can harvest at the moment at Aintree Community Garden.

Unfortunately, we have had someone help themselves to our ENTIRE POTATO CROP. This is not appropriate. We have also had someone dig out and steal a chilli plant. This is also NOT how our volunteers expect the community to treat how they’ve spent their time & energy in our garden.

A reminder: NEVER take entire crops, and NEVER remove entire plants. If you’re ensure SPEAK TO A VOLUNTEER CALL OR TEXT JONO via our social pages or via our website.

And while our garden is always open and free for you to harvest respectfully, what we really love is when people volunteer and help us maintain it.

We’ve got heaps going on at Aintree Community Garden! Here, Jono will show you what the volunteers have been planting and give you some instructions on HOW and WHAT and WHEN you can harvest the produce.
